Opis

Walter Ratliff delivers a nonpartisan analysis of how the Sept. 11th attacks revolutionized evangelical attitudes toward Muslims and Islam. The book gives readers a rare inside look at top evangelical schools, denominations and media outlets that shape the movement's attitudes. Many evangelicals now see Islam as a second front in the culture wars. Yet, some are building bridges with Muslims over the new fault lines that emerged after the 2001 attacks. Highlights include a comprehensive analysis of Muslims and Islam in the evangelical press from 1998 to 2003, the perspective of Muslim-Americans since the attacks, and a rare view at the internal debates among top evangelical leaders.
