With Christianity still the dominant faith in many countries, the Communities of Faith series builds bridges with today's great religions. Points of agreement and divergence are explored in each handy, concise and sensitive guide. For anyone interested in faith, here is a stimulating way to start an exciting journey of discovery. Islam is one of the world's major faiths, with vast numbers of adherents in many countries. It is spreading rapidly, as many people are compelled by the simple creed and high moral standards of its sacred writings. This book leads the non-Muslim expertly into the Islamic world. Vivienne Stacey's extensive travels in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America, together with her long experience in Pakistan, have given her a wide view of the worlds of the Church and the challenges and changes that it faces, issues that she has explored in her many books an lectures.
