Islam and Christianity: Origins, Beliefs, and the Search for Truth (Christ and the Challenge of Islam, Volume I)

This book examines the origins of Islam in seventh-century Arabia, the life of Muhammad, the Qur'an and its compilation and authority, and the core beliefs and practices of Muslims. It then compares these with the Christian faith, showing where Christians and Muslims agree, where they differ, and why those differences matter, especially regarding the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, the Crucifixion and Resurrection, and the nature of divine Revelation.

Written for Catholics, catechists, students, and anyone engaged in dialogue between Christians and Muslims, Islam and Christianity avoids both uncritical apologetics and hostile polemics, and invites readers to seek the truth with an open mind and a faithful heart.
