Colin Chapman Knihy

Dva národy - Židé a palestinští Arabové - si činí nárok na stejné území. Komu však tato země doopravdy patří? Patří Židům, protože Abraham a jeho potomci v ní žili mnoho století již před Kristem a věřili, že jim ji Bůh zaslíbil "navždy"? Patří jim proto, že i po jejich vyhnání z Jeruzaléma Římany v roce 135 po Kristu žily nepřetržitě skupinky židovského obyvatelstva v některých městech až do začátku trvalé imigrace v 80. letech 19. století? Nebo jim patří proto, že jim byla poskytnuta Plánem OSN na rozdělení země z roku 1947? Patří palestinským arabům, protože oni i jejich předkové ýili v této zemi nepřetržitě po mnoho století - dokonce ještě před příchodem Arabů, kteří v 7. století po kristu tuto zemi ovládli? Patří jim proto, že hraje výjimečnou roli v islámském náboženství? Co dělat s nároky tohoto druhu, které se opírají jak o práva odvozovaná z osídlení země v minulosti, tak i o Bohem dané posvátné spisy? Máme ignorovat Písmo a soustředit se na historii, nebo naopak? Na to všechno se kniha pokouší odpovědět, nebo alespoň k vlastnímu úsudku poskytnou podklady, na základě historického pozadí i biblických výkladů.

Islam presents new challenges and new questions to Christians and to the West in a post-9/11 context. However, in many situations in the world, where Christians and Muslims live peacefully side-by-side as neighbours, political considerations are not uppermost. Challenging us to examine our own attitudes, Colin Chapman considers the issues involved in Christian engagement with Muslims and Islam. He explores, ultimately, how Christians can effectively bear witness to Jesus. This revised and updated edition incorporates brand new material on 'Islamic Terrorism', 'What is Islam?', 'The Qur'anic View of Christians' and 'Explaining Christian Beliefs About Jesus'. It will equip Christians to better understand Muslims and Islam in a rapidly changing world.
