Summary: THE 6TH PRINTING IS ELOQUENT ENOUGH
Review: The popularity of Islam Revealed in the English speaking world speaks volumns concerning its validity and vitality. It's a monumental bestseller dealing with the religion, prophet, facts and fallacies of Islam. The excellent book includes the debate material which was presented at Royal Albert Hall in London on the topic "Is Jesus God". The majority of the presentation at the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham, England concerning the debate "The Quran or the Bible: Which is God's Word" is found in the book. (Incidentally there were over 11,000 people present during the 5 hour historic debate.) Amazingly enough the author has met several converted Moslems who came to Christ as a result of reading Islam Revealed! Other individuals who were seeking to make a decisions for Christianity or Islam emerged into the Christian Faith once they read the book. Some colleges and universi- ties utilize this critically acclaimed document as a testbook in comparative religions or as a research workbook.

The author has received numerious threats because of his debates and book from fanatics. So far he has survived three attempts but keeps going in his attempt to present the truth in love.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: This book smartly divides into two sections, the first is the text of a debate held between the author and the leading Muslim theologian apologist in the world. They met in several debate settings with thousands of people in attendance--held in Royal Albert Hall in London, England. The second half is apologetics at its best as the author takes the Islamic scriptures (the Koran) to task for their open contradictions, spurious language, and blatant misunderstandings of Christianity by Muslims in general. The author, Dr. Anis A. Shorrosh is a Palestinian by birth, having lost his family home during the Israeli invation of Nazareth in 1948. He became a Christian while living in refugee conditions in Jordan. American missionaries brought him to the USA were he received an education (B.A., M.Div., PhD., D.LL) from several seminaries and colleges. He is presently an apologist for the Christian faith and is currently in demand for revivals, meetings, mission talks, etc. The author was recently honored by the Southern Baptist Convention for his 25+ years as an Itenerate Evangelist. He is married and has four children, and by the way, love Jews as well as Muslims. For the person who wants to know more about Islam, in particular how to speak intelligently with Muslims about what they believe, based on their own bible the Koran, this book is a must read. This book is currently in use in several seminaries and is of great profit for both new and seasoned apologists. The author also has several others books available as well as videos and cassettes (Titles include: The Liberated Palestinian -- His biography; and, Jesus, Prophecy and the Middle East, his contribution to literature for understanding our times in light of scripture). Finally, Dr. Shorrosh caused quite a rucus when he was heard on the Rush Limbaugh program during the Gulf War. I understand Rush had him on repeatedly during that time and that he reported over 100,000 attempted calls into the show while Dr. Shorrosh was speaking (three separate interviews by phone). Dr. Shorrosh is, among many things, my father, of whom I am very proud. He has stood up to the worst of insults Islam had to offer, and even survived an assasination attempt on his life while speaking in South Africa. Dr. Shorrosh holds no ill will towards the religion of most of his ancestors in the Middle East, however, he offers the privilege of coming out of darkness into the light through introducing the reader to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, God in the flesh. Every Christian apologist, teacher, evangelist, missionary, preacher, professor, and layman should have a copy of this book in order to be prepared for the Islamic invasion of the USA.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Eye-Opening
Review: This book succeeds at very carefully and with great detail, explaining the foundational teaching of Islam and it's founder Muhammed. I found it astounding to learn when all the facts are presented.....that Muhammed was not divinely inspired by Allah or any other God..but rather copied and re-wrote/phrased written works and teachings (often incorrectly) from a multitude of other people/religions.....some that were even considered heretical like the Nestorians. Muhammed's work, the Quran is a very mixed up confusing book when read in English and as the author keenly points out..contradicts itself so repeatedly it is hard to fathom. If Muslim scholars must overlook all the grandiose inconsistencies themselves...it is no wonder that Islam does not prize it's followers to intellectually study the Quaran...but rather only rewards memorizing it. After reading this book one can conclude that Muhammed started out with good intentions.....to steer the pagan Arab world away from all their idol worship in that day...but along the way...he allowed himself to become one. Most might believe that Islam grows based on people choosing to convert by their own choice. After reading this book......it should be evident to all....that Muhammed shed blood profusely again and again to force his beliefs on his own Arab neighbors...and surrounding countries to impart fear with his choose Islam or die tactics. Many of his followers today are still advancing their cause with the same barbaric methods their founder employed so vigilantly back then. You will walk away from this book well informed..provoked and somewhat disappointed to think human beings are buying into this belief system called Islam that is so effective in advancing the cause of religious intolerance in society while propogating hate, superiority, prejudice and abuse toward women in our world. Not all Muslims are terrorists this is true....but if you carefully analyze what going on in our world today..almost all terrorists are Muslims.......
