What do you do when "Islam" does not adequately describe the Muslims you know? Margins of Islam brings together a stellar collection of experienced missionary scholar-practitioners who explain their own approaches to a diversity of Muslims across the world. Each chapter grapples with a context that is significantly different from the way Islam is traditionally presented in mission texts. These crucial differences may be theological, socio-political, ethnic, or a specific variation of Islam in a context but they all shape the way we do mission. This book will help you discover Islam as a lived experience in various settings and equip you to engage Muslims in any context, including your own.Review"Here-at last!-is a book that takes seriously the bewildering diversity among Muslims worldwide and explores responsibly the missiological implications of these diverse contexts. This is a terrific book which deserves a wide readership. Harold Netland, PhD, professor of philosophy of religion and intercultural studies, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. This book raises huge questions about how we should understand Islam, how we should teach Christians about Islam, and how we should communicate with Muslims. While it doesnt provide neat answers, its a model of whats involved in reflecting seriously on long-term Christian engagement with Muslims." -Colin Chapman, MPhil, professor of World Christianity and president, Asbury Theological SeminaryAbout the AuthorGene Daniels, DLit et Phil, is a missiologist whose specialty is qualitative research in the Muslim world.
