Special emphasis will be placed on a study of the theology of the Koran. The student will read and study the entire Koran along with important selections from the Hadith, Shari`a material and Sufi writings. The actual historical manifestations of contemporary Islam will be explored with a special emphasis on Islam in the African context.

The Certainty of the Faith: List: $13.99 … WTS $10.49 “Presents an ‘integrated’ apologetic which uses many of the traditional types of argument as they are appropriate to different practical situations, always honoring the biblical teachings about how we come to know God.” “Richard Ramsey has given us a solid, reliable and practical outlook on Christian apologetics. He goes directly to the central issues facing Christians as they share their faith with others in our day. I believe that God will use this book in the lives of many followers of Christ around the world.” Read the Table of Contents & Preface (PDF) |
