More Than a Prophet: An Insider's Response to Muslim Beliefs about Jesus & Christianity

If you have any questions on Islam in relation to Christianity, this is your BOOK!

Dr. Emir Caner and his brother Dr. Ergun Caner offer a powerful exposition on Islam in the light of their own religious upbringing and in light of what the true Word of God, the Bible, teaches. Like Paul the Apostle in Romans 10:1-4, the Caner's offer their love and prayers for 700 million Muslims to find true salvation through the gospel of Jesus Christ. The entire book, I found, was written with a heart not only to reveal what Islam teaches but to help Christians make disciples of Muslims. And thankfully, because of brethren such as the Caner's, this is happening. The gospel is spreading with fire througout the 10/40 window as millions of Muslims are now hearing the truth of Jesus (Romans 10:14-17). The book is a fast paced book to read. I got caught up with not only the beliefs of Islam (which are vague to me living in a strong Christian foundation in Georgia) but also to the lives of the Caner's and how they became disciples of Jesus (Matt. 28:19-20). Truly, Luke 14:25-35 applies to Muslims who count the cost, abandon the false religion of Islam, denouce Mohommad as a false prophet, and make Jesus their Lord and Savior. You can see that in the Caner's lives. This book is great not only for understanding the false beliefs of Islam, their distortion of who Jesus truly is, and their confusion over Christianity but it also will strengthen your prayer life for the Muslims as you see God's grace in the lives of the Caner's.

I bought this book to learn about a religion that has somehow been interpreted to allow the attack of 9/11. Interestingly, I have felt fairly satisfied with my knowledge of Christianity until I read this book. I learned much about my own religion that I didn't know. This unexpected aspect of this book has given me a much deeper understanding. What a wonderful bonus!

More Than a Prophet has been a helpful book in understanding the beliefs of Islam versus the traditional beliefs of Christianitiy. It is wonderfully organized for quick reference and in comparing and contrasting the religions, it offers insight into some of the contradictions of Islam and how the Christian might use those contradictions to show the deity of Christ to the Muslim. I found this book extremely useful and plan to soon read another book by the Caner brothers: Unveiling Islam.

It's one thing to suspect that Islam's view of Jesus and Christianity's view of Jesus are different. It's another to be able to argue it. Many of us firmly believe in Jesus, but we just don't have the Scriptural support to argue why He's so important, let alone the knowledge of the Qu'ran to be able to make that argument clearly to Muslims.But this book helps, by posing the most common questions Muslims ask about Christianity, and showing how real answers are found not only in the Bible, but also ultimately in a personal relationship with Christ. Can you show that Jesus is the Son of God? Did you know many Muslims mistakenly believe our Trinity includes Mary? Do you know why Jesus is unique? If not, then you need this book, which takes you step by step through our most important doctrines. Even if you have no theological training, More Than a Prophet is easy to understand, and will help you, in turn, to understand your Muslim neighbors.We are not enemies, and the Caner's go to great pains to show that. We are, instead, pilgrims on the same journey. More than a Prophet helps to reaffirm where that journey should be headed, and makes sure that we all get on the right road.
