I want your answer not a books...
Nothing More Than a Clever Proselytizing Tool, this book is typical of Islamist apologetics. The contents of this book are mere revisionist scripture and spin on writings long considered heretical by orthodox Christian leaders and disciples. It is just another clever ruse by apologetics of Islam to try and "steal" the legacy of Judeo-Christian history and beliefs in order to make their claims to legitimacy seem palpable and pragmatic. If you are familiar with this ruse, this book is nothing new. It certainly is interesting to read; especially if you already know the true purpose for books such as these.
The writer also adds;
I was born a Muslim and lived as one in Syria for 40 years. I was once one of the individuals who used such materials as these to convert non-Muslims. I have not been a Muslim for twenty years now, but I know Islamic propagandist tools for proselytizing when I see it.
This book consists of 10 chapters which are mostly historical.
Chapter 1, "The Unitarian View and Christianity" argues that based on historical proof that Christianity was from its beginning just as monotheistic as Islam and Judaism. It also gets into how the belief in trinity was merely based on a historical decision in 325 A.D.
"A Historical Account of Jesus" is the title of the second chapter which gets into what Jesus actually looked like and anything else of interest that has been written about him. The chapter quotes The Bible, The Qur'aan and some Hadith.
The next chapter which is on "The Gospel of Barnabas" is a short survey on this Gospel which is said to be the only surviving Gospel written by a disciple of Jesus. Since the Gospel of Banabas contradicts The Qur'aan, I find it a little bit puzzling as to why so many Muslims try to use it in their arguments.
Another book of interest like the Gospel of Banabas is called "The Shepherd of Hermas" which is the topic of Chapter 4. The Shepherd was written between 88 and 97 AD and because of its affirmation of Divine Unity as opposed to trinity, all copies were ordered to be destroyed after the Council of Nicea in 325 AD.
Chapter 5 discusses "Barnabas and the Early Christians". This chapter quotes The Bible extensively and talks about how the earliest followers of Jesus and Barnabas were not much different.
The next chapter titled "Early Unitarians in Christianity" is a compilation of short bios of the earliest Unitarians from 130 A.D. to 336 A.D.
Chapter 7 ("Later Unitarians in Christianity") is in the same format as the previous chapter except that the bios are of Unitarians from 1511 - 1842.
"Christianity Today" basically discusses how destorted the Christianity has become today since the 325 A.D Council of Nicea.
Chapter 8 simply quotes various verses from The Qur'aan were Jesus is mentioned.
The last chapter is called Jesus in Hadith and Muslim traditions, yet not everything in this chapter is from authentic Muslim sources. Although not all of the Hadith mentioned may be strong, some of them are quite interesting and teach valuable lessons.
Enough said for me about the book. I should just get it and read it for fun.
