B97027 - More Than a Prophet - paperback

For Muslims, Jesus is a highly respected prophet, but only one of many. For Christians, Jesus is more than a prophet. He alone is God incarnate, Lord, and Savior. This is the most profound of distinctions between Islam and Christianity. Answering nearly 150 questions, the Caner brothers have provided a handbook for Christians who want to understand the issues and share their faith with Muslims. From the back cover: For the world's one billion Muslims, Jesus is a prophet. A highly respected prophet, but one of many throughout history. For Christians, Jesus is more than a prophet. He alone is God incarnate, Lord and Savior. And therein lies the most profound difference between the two faiths.   Based upon the authors' extensive dialogues and debates with skeptical, angry, and interested Muslims, liberal Christians, and mainstream journalists, MORE THAN A PROPHET answers nearly one hundred and fifty questions about Islamic and Christian faith. Raised Sunni Muslim and now professors of Christian history and theology, the Caner brothers provide a unique perspective in comparing the religions.   Sympathetic to Muslim concerns yet uncompromising in its portrayal of historic Christian truth, MORE THAN A PROPHET is an indispensable handbook for Christians who want to share their faith with sensitivity and intellectual honesty. It is also a helpful introductory resource for those seeking to understand Jesus.   Emir Fethi Caner (Ph.D., University of Texas at Arlington) is currently Assistant Professor of Church History and Anabaptist Studies at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary I Wake Forest, North Carolina.
