This is a brave attempt to bring together different views of how we should interact with Muslims/Islam in the UK and seek to find a biblical way forward. The introduction by Michael Nazir-Ali sets the scene well.
With so many authors and views, it is difficult to summarise the work fairly and it does lead to a ‘confused sound’. It was written before the events of the ‘Arab Spring’. The effect of that on Christians in those communities will add to the concerns of many with the advancing influence of Islam on our own society.
