{"product_id":"9781577996743","title":"On Islam","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAt the beginning of the twentieth century, famed theologian Abraham Kuyper toured the Mediterranean world and encountered Islam for the first time.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart travelogue, part cultural critique, On Islam presents a European imperialist seeing firsthand the damage colonialism had caused and the value of a religion he had never truly understood. Here, Kuyper's doctrine of common grace shines as he displays a nuanced and respectful understanding of the Muslim world. Though an ardent Calvinist, Kuyper still knew that God's grace is expressed to unbelievers. Kuyper saw Islam as a culture and religion with much to offer the West, but also as a threat to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Here he expresses a balanced view of early twentieth-century Islam that demands attention from the majority world today as well. Essays by prominent scholars bookend the volume, showing the relevance of these teachings in our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexham Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060843954416,"sku":"9781577996743","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781577996743_p0.jpg?v=1769900263","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781577996743","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
