In this volume he has accurately and brilliantly critiqued all previous approaches. The author describes the various paradigm shifts that have taken place in the larger Protestant history as well as in the evangelical community in particular. Of particular mention is Schlorff's clear-headed thinking concerning the Qur'an and Islamic culture and how it relates to Biblical revelation. This book will be a major reference book for Christians working with Muslims for years to come."--Back cover ER -
