Local spiritisms flavor people's connections with the supernatural. Political histories and ideologies carve out other emphases. And all of these patterns are in flux, since change never stops. Lifelong learning is required from those who want to understand Islam. This book presents diverse Muslim lifestyles and worldviews in a readable, accessible, interesting form. Beyond description, authors explore particular bridges for communicating the gospel in various unique contexts. For updating and expanding one's knowledge, for interacting with creative minds, and for general enrichment, this book is a treasure.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eMiriam Adeney, PhD\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eassociate professor of world Christian studies, Seattle Pacific Universityauthor, Kingdom Without Borders: The Untold Story of Global Christianity\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT1] [ENDORSEMENT2]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eWater is H2O. But for the scuba diver, or surfer or marine biologist, it is much more. Is Islam confined to its creed and dogma? Those who swim in its waters experience it as much more. The authors invite us to dive among the coral reefs of Islam, observe its rich colors and bio-diversity, and feel the force of its currents and breakers. Rather than reducing Islam to a system of beliefs, they urge us towards incarnation—the risky venture of getting to know Muslims. Hybridity and liminality are the new buzz-words, but since its inception, Islam has intermingled with worldviews and cultures around the globe. This volume patiently unveils that reality, inviting Jesus-followers to encounter Muslims where they live, as they live. Thanks to Farah and Daniels for confronting us with the diversity of global Islam and implications for Christians who engage with it.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eMike Kuhn, PhD\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eassistant professor, Arab Baptist Theological Seminaryauthor of Fresh Vision for the Muslim World\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT2] [ENDORSEMENT3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eI so enjoyed Margins of Islam.

In recent years there have been a plethora of books written on the topic. “Why another?” some skeptically may ask. Because this collaborative volume brings to us both balance and up-to-date cutting edge missiological observations on the world of Islam in a fresh way.

The religion may have its pillars, but radically different expressions. Daniels and Farah have done a great service in the Kingdom by reminding us of this fact! Margins of Islam takes readers on a global journey revealing the multiple expressions of the Islamic faith. This book gives us solid evidence of what we have known, but seldom allowed to influence our mission practices. We no longer have any excuse to train others to reach all Muslims in the same way.
