Brother Andrew, Al Janssen

Revell, 2008

I was touched by this book - excellent read
I found this book to be an excellent read and very hard to put down. It chronicles the intertwining lives of several Muslims who converted from Islam to Christianity. All of their stories were different; but, very inspiring to read about. The book takes you back and forth into their lives as each life story unfolds and several become connected to each other. I was touched deeply by this ...

Doyal
The Tent of Abraham presents a vision of hope: what Jews, Christians and Muslims can do for a mutual understanding of the essence that binds these three great religions in Abraham.

A most pointed differnce between Christianity ans Islam
The author compares the teachings and the life examples set by Jesus and Muhammad.

A history of an epic city
I lived in Thessaloniki as an exchange student in 1980. I wish that this book had bee available for me to realize the historic gems around every corner of my favorite city at that time. Mazower's book opens up the reasons for its (the city's) being and why it was and is so important. People of every religion, or none, will be fascinated by its political turmoil and intrigues, and visitors today ...

The Ornament of the World: How Muslims, Jews and Christians Created a Culture of Tolerance in Medieval Spain

57 reviews
Maria Rosa Menocal

Back Bay Books, 2003

GREAT BOOK, MUST READ
The culture of tolerance was created by MUSLIMS who were rulling Spain, the writer failed to point out that it was the muslims who granted and who created this tolerance of others. I am stunned at some reviews here who talked about the tolerance of Muslims at that time with the terms of the 21th century ! this is absurd, you cant look at that era in the eyes of this 21th century. The ...

Particularly useful for women who are in a position to reach out to Muslim women and assist them find relief from the tragic ordeal they face under the oppresion of Islam.

Niccolo Capponi

Da Capo Press, 2007

An outstanding and readable work.
An excellent book that from now on (but just until I'll write my own narration of Lepanto ....) will be the unquestionable reference work on the subject. Almost one hundred years ago Alethea Wiel, in The Navy of Venice (London, 1910) wrote: "They (the six Venetian Galleasses positioned in front of the Christian fleet) bore so distinguished and important a part in the crushing defeat of the Turks ...

Sidney H. Griffith

Princeton University Press, 2007

A lucid introduction to a fascinating but little-known topic
I have been studying Syriac with Sidney Griffith for two years now. I will be getting into another specialty of his this coming year: Christian-Muslim relations in the early centuries of Islam. That is why I decided to read this book. As it happens, there was more hidden treasure in this subject than I had suspected. Christians did not just live silently under Muslim domination; they interacted ...

I have read the circle trilogy by Dekker, and im also reading the lost books at the moment as well, at first, my thoughts about this book were, that its not as good as the trilogy, but I'll read further anyway. Soon after that the book sucked me in like all the other dekker books ive read. its amazing. As with other dekker books it has a bit of God mixed in, and Ted does that so well. I ...

Princeton Univ Pr, 2007

The Dream of the Poem Fulfilled
Peter Cole has provided the literary world with an astonishing service;he has managed to recuperate an entire poetic tradition and securely place it within the crown of the greatest achievements of the Western canon prior to Shakespeare. It is humbling to read these poems, many of which were almost lost forever, some of which were not discovered until the 20th century. They are arguably the ...
