The Rebuke of Islam

Product Description Temple Gairdner's The Rebuke of Islam, published in 1920, has long been recognized as one of the classics of Christian response to Islam in the early 20th century. Part of its significance is that Gairdner's approach sums up the very best of earlier approaches (especially in the 19th century), but breaks significantly new ground and therefore points forward to approaches that have been developing between his time and the present day. About the Author Colin Chapman was lecturer in Islamic studies at the Near East School of Theology in Beirut until his retirement. A former principal of Crowther Hall, Birmingham (Church Mission Society training college), he also worked for thirteen years previously in Egypt and Lebanon with CMS. He is the author of"Whose Promised Land?, Whose Holy City?: Jerusalem and the Future of Peace in the Middle East, Cross and Crescent: Responding to the Challenge of Islam" and "Islam and the West: Conflict, Co-Existence or Conversion."
