Klappentext
As a result of Islamic terrorism many people - including some in high placesn- have quickly come to the conclusion that Islam is a religion of violence and,nas such, is the sworn enemy of Christianity and the Western way of life. Thisnmay be understandable, but the matter is not quite so simple.nThis book provides the necessary historical background to the problem, andnit does so by supplying a wealth of documentation which powerfully recordsnthe amicable and fruitful relations which, over the centuries, have repeatedlynmanifested themselves between Christianity and Islam.nWhat has gone wrong now? Is it possible that this spirit, once so frequent, cannagain be recovered - in whole or even in part? On the evidence presented innthis book, this would seem to be more than just a pious hope.nThe Old Testament says: "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.nBecause thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee." This book copiouslynsupplies the background knowledge that is needed for our understandingnin this age of absurd, cruel, and apparently unending wars.
