Synopsis

Provides thinking Christians with a broad range of balanced evidence on Islam in Britain. This book will enable readers to engage with the issues and cometo conclusions that might help them be better social peacemakers and spiritualfriends to Muslims for the sake of Jesus Christ. A new 'fault-line' is dividing Christians who disagree about Islam. A spectrumof opinion exists, ranging from strident voices which de-emphasise the Great Commission in favour of theological confrontation and political action to the building of relational bridges for the communicating of the gospel. At worst the extremes range from hostile to the naive. Between Naivety and Hostility aims tofill a gap in a media marketplace saturated by stories about "out-of-control" immigration, the contradictory faces of Islam and the aggressive behaviour of some Muslims.
