Islam is a dominant global worldview, second only to Christianity. We encounter Muslim friends and colleagues across all walks of life and many of our Muslim friends know quite a lot about the essentials of Christianity. Also given that many Christians and Muslims alike, not to mention the unassuming gallery, think Christianity and Islam to be the same and to be leading to the same God it's imperative that we educate ourselves and clear the air. In this first episode of a mini-series on Understanding Islam former-Muslim Abdu Murray lists out the core of Islam and how they are different to the Christian faith. Links and citation:Seeing Jesus from the East: A Fresh Look at History's Most Influential Figure The Defense Rests podcastMust read book(s):Saving Truth: Finding Meaning and Clarity in a Post-Truth World Equipping the believer defend their faith anytime, anywhere.

I recently had the opportunity to talk to Wesley Huff, a fellow Canadian apologist, about his faith journey and current ministry. Wes ministers on campus with Power to Change and is also a doctoral student at the University of Toronto. Make sure to check out his blog. Wes has an amazing testimony, including a healing from paralysis. But is faith is not just based on experience. Wes is a deep thinker, whoo is especially interested in New Testament studies. I think you will enjoy our conversation. Wes recommended the following books: Saving Truth: Finding Meaning and Clarity in a Post-Truth World by Abdu Murray Gospel Witness: Defending and Extending the Kingdom of God by Joseph Boot Bibles: An Illustrated History from Papyrus to Print by Christopher de Hamel The recommend audiobook for this episode is Saving Truth. Increasingly, Western culture embraces confusion as a virtue and decries certainty as a sin. Those who are confused about sexuality and identity are viewed as heroes. Those who are confused about morality are progressive pioneers. Those who are confused about spirituality are praised as tolerant. Conversely, those who express certainty about any of these issues are seen as bigoted, oppressive, arrogant, or intolerant. This cultural phenomenon led the compilers of the Oxford English Dictionary to name "post-truth" their word of the year in 2016. How can Christians offer truth and clarity to a world that shuns both? By accurately describing the Culture of Confusion and how it has affected our society, author Abdu Murray seeks to awaken Westerners to the plight we find ourselves in. He also challenges Christians to consider how they have played a part in fostering the Culture of Confusion through bad arguments, unwise labeling, and emotional attacks. Ultimately, Saving Truth provides arguments from a Christian perspective for the foundations of truth and how those foundations apply to sexuality, identity, morality, and spirituality. For those enmeshed in the culture of confusion, the book offers a way to untangle oneself and find hope in the clarity that Christ offers.
