Norman Anderson and the Christian Mission to Modernize Islam
Western Christians in the twentieth century viewed Islam through a lens of social and political concerns that would have appeared novel to their medieval and early-modern predecessors. Concerns about the predicament of secular 'modernity' infused Christian discourse with distinct assumptions that shaped engagement with Islam in fundamentally new ways. J. N. D. (Norman) Anderson (1908-94), a highly influential British Christian scholar of Islam, embodied this new orientation in his commitment to 'modernize' Islam. Anderson's engagement with Islam as a missionary, intelligence agent, scholar of Islamic law and advisor to various Muslim governments, spanned multiple decades and continents. As w...

Christianity and World Religions
Norman Anderson examines the works of well-known thinkers, the biblical evidence, and the beliefs of major non-Christian religions to show the uniqueness and relevance of Christianity in a world devoted to pluralism.
Christianity and Comparative Religion
"Today the Eastern religions are evoking more and more interest among those who feel disillusioned with organized Christianity or dissatisfied with affluent Western society. It is also increasingly necessary that we should have some understanding of the religions of many of our fellow-citizens. Comparative religion has therefore become a subject of practical importance. Professor Anderson here looks at some of the great religions from a number of different angles. Stressing the unique historical event on which Christian faith is based, he compares the origins, concepts of 'salvation' and views of God found in Christianity and the other world religions." - Publisher

Islamic Law in Africa
In many parts of Africa three different systems of laws are concurrently applied – the imported "Colonial" law, the indigenous customary law and Islamic law. In some countries the customary and the Islamic law are kept separate and distinct, while in others they are fused into a single system. This volume represents a unique survey of the extent to which Islamic law is in fact applied in those parts of East and West Africa which were at one time under British administration. It examines the relevant legislation and case law, much of which has never appeared in any Law Reports; the judges and courts which apply it and the problems to which its application give rise.
Doctrine of Terror
The book highlights the fact that Islam does not encourage or incite intolerance of other faiths, and that it values sanctity of human life, regardless of religious affiliation, and abhors violence and extremism, as being perpetrated by the misguided muslim jihadists of al-Qaeda, ISIS, and their associated terrorist groups that have been wreaking atrocities on defenseless civilian populations of Muslim majority countries, including women and children.The book describes the inception, support, and unlimited funding of these groups by the Sunni Arab countries, and implores the Funders to discontinue their support, forthwith, to restore peace and stability to the marginalized communities, particularly the Shia Muslims of the world who have been subjected to persecution for centuries, ever since the advent of Islam in the seventh century, following the death of the Prophet of Islam in 623.The book also implores theWorld powers to end their tacit support of terrorism by seriously confronting the supporters of terrorist groups, without which the terrorism will not end.
