God is One: The Way of Islam, 2nd Edition
Publisher: Friendship Press
Author: R. Marston Speight
Location: New York
Year: 2001

Description: A very approachable and enjoyable book for use in an adult (or even a youth) study series. Very good at introducing Christians to Islam's contributions to science, art, medicine, architecture, and literature. Weak on Islamic law.

The new Study Guide includes instructions for mounting several kinds of study or dialogue opportunities. The author (a former Methodist missionary and seminary professor) is a well-known authority on Islam and Christian-Muslim relations. He directed the Office on Christian-Muslim Relations of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA from 1979-1992. From 1951-1979, he was stationed in Algiers, northern Africa.
