This book was originally written by an experienced evangelical pastor who has spent 35 years in the Muslim field. Written for a Muslim audience in an Islamic country, it takes on the challenges of skeptics in the modern world. It is the result of his lengthy personal discussions with a Muslim critic about the reliability of the New Testament and the legitimacy of the Christian faith. It addresses many recurring arguments of skeptical scholars of the West, which are widely utilized by Islamic critics. The original Turkish-language 700-page work is used as an official reference work in Islamic theological faculties in Turkey, as a study on Christian rebuttals of Islamic accusations against the fundamentals of Christianity. For a decade, this seminal work has been earning Carlos Madrigal invitations to public debates and discussions on national media.

Moghul was becoming a prominent voice for American Muslims even as he struggled with his relationship to Islam. In high school he was barely a believer and entirely convinced he was going to hell.
