Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What the Reader Will FindThe chapters ahead follow the conversations roughly as they unfolded, with the missionaries, student leaders, and seminarians who engaged me. Among them: A student leader who answered my request for proof of Christ's divinity with John 1:1, and the question of what logos actually means across the breadth of Scripture.A missionary couple of Indian origin who affirmed the Trinity, then affirmed monotheism, and could not tell me how both could stand.The paradox of Hosea 11:9, "For I am God, and not a man", read aloud in full context, with the passage's own words as witness.A long and patient contest over John 10:30, "I and the Father are one," and what the eight verses before it and five verses after it actually say.An extended written exchange with the missionary who appears here under the pseudonym Adam Smith, ranging over the sinlessness of Christ, his baptism of repentance, the authority to forgive sins, the title "Son of Man," Zechariah 12:10, and the integrity of the biblical text.The sign of Jonah, a discussion that stretched across many weeks and many emails, and in which, to my mind, the central question was never answered: Jonah was alive. Was Jesus?A visit from "Big Mike," a senior missionary with decades of experience in Muslim lands, and his young companion Ethan, who came seeking the Trinity in Genesis 1:26 and Isaiah 9:6.And finally, at their own request, my positive case: why I believe Islam to be true, the Qur'an's historical accuracies concerning ancient Egypt, its fulfilled prophecies, its linguistic inimitability, its preservation, and its effect on the human heart.
