In the acclaimed book Muslim Evangelism, Phil Parshall devotes one chapter to "bridges" which can assist in facilitating understanding between Islam and Christianity. In Bridges to Islam he expands that key chapter into a book. The most promising bridges can be found not in orthodox Islam, contends the author, but in "folk Islam", which is less well known in the West but which influences about 70 percent of the world's Muslims. "Popular Islam consists largely of people who desire to know God and to be accepted by him", writes the author. "They have a high view of one God who is . . . all-powerful and merciful." The mystical Sufis press for a more satisfying personal relationship with Allah. These teachings and aspirations, argues the author, have immense potential as bridges, which he has personally witnessed spending many years ministering among Muslims. This thorough and in depth study of ways to bridge folk Islam will be invaluable to missionaries, students, and those interested in reaching Muslims for Christ.

Too long the church has been programmed to accept the inevitabilities of meager results in the efforts toward Muslim evangelization. The reasons for this failure in missions must now be probed and resolved as the world today is coming alive to the presence of the Muslim religious community. With a piercing urgency, Dr. Parshall challenges the church to look with a critical eye at the whole subject of Muslim evangelism, to forsake former presuppositions, and to become conscious of God speaking in a new and fresh manner -- not in regard to his changeless Word -- but in areas of extra-biblical methodology. From his varied experiences on the Muslim mission field, the author applies with sensitivity and care the principles and practices of contextualization to advance the evangelical church among Muslim communities. - Back cover.
