If you are interested in understanding others, I am finding Brian McLaren's new book helpful and stimulating. It's called "Why Did Jesus, Moses, The Buddha and Mohammed Cross the Road? Christian Identity in a Multi-Faith World."http://www.djiboutijones.com/2012/09/honor-and-shame.html
Thanks to Kevin for indicating the broken link!
ReplyDeletePastor Mark, thank you for the insight. I believe the problem with most "westerners" is simply a lack of education of the Muslim faith. It's natural to fear what you don't know. Education leads to understanding, which leads to compassion, which prayerfully leads to peace.
