Accepting the Other

By Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim

Series: Dar Mardin: Christian Arabic and Syriac Studies from the Middle East 32

ISBN: 978-1-60724-263-5

Written by the eminent Syrian Orthodox Metropolitan of Aleppo, Accepting the Other, offers an eloquent and alternative perspective to the question of religious co-existence and the so-called ‘Clash of Civilizations.’ Bishop Gregorios’ book begins with an historical overview of the presence of Christians in the Middle East and their rich cultural contributions to the region, stretching back to the days of the Roman Empire and discusses the Islamic conquests and the Crusades from the little-heard yet extremely important Middle Eastern Christian perspective; he also offers examples of Christian-Muslim co-existence and discusses the question of citizenship.

Moslem Women

By Samuel M. Zwemer & Mrs. Samuel Zwemer; Introduction by Peter Riddell

Series: Exploring the House of Islam: Perceptions of Islam in the Period of Western Ascendancy 1800-1945 1

ISBN: 978-1-60724-409-7

Moslem Women is built around six main chapters; half are devoted to the place and experiences of Moslem women, and half consider the Christian mission to these women. The Zwemers acknowledge some of the great women of Islamic history, such as Rabia, the famous early mystic, and Nurah Mahal, wife of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. They speak in glowing terms about advances in the women’s situation in post-Ottoman Turkey. Their work is dedicated to serving Muslims and to seeing them as people rather than as faceless numbers; it is an excellent model for today’s Christians who feel called to engagement with Islam.
