D.L. Miller has brilliantly taken the Islamic religion apart, unveiling the origins of Islam and the many ways in which its adherents interpret the Qu'ran, today. With great detail, he explores concepts such as Jihad, Intifada, Shariah, and Fatwah--terms with which many of us are not familiar. Soldiers of Allah is a valuable resource for missionaries, and anyone called to serve in the Islamic world. It also offers much-needed insight into a religious culture with which we are interacting more often today. Soldiers of Allah explains How the revelations of Muhammed became the basis for the Islamic religion Why the Qu'ran is interpreted differently among Islamic denominations Why American jurisprudence cannot coexist with Shariah law Why Allah is not another name for Jehovah Some may question the author's conclusions, but Miller has been thorough and exacting in his research. He has an extremely broad personal and professional knowledge of his subject.

The Jewish intellectual tradition has a long and complex history that has resulted in significant and influential works of scholarship. In this book, the authors suggest that there is a series of common principles that can be extracted from the Jewish intellectual tradition that have broad, even life-changing, implications for individual and societal achievement. These principles include respect for tradition while encouraging independent, often disruptive thinking; a precise system of logical reasoning in pursuit of the truth; universal education continuing through adulthood; and living a purposeful life. The main objective of this book is to understand the historical development of these principles and to demonstrate how applying them judiciously can lead to greater intellectual productivity, a more fulfilling existence, and a more advanced society.
