Islam presents new challenges and new questions to Christians and to the West in a post-9/11 context. However, in many situations in the world, where Christians and Muslims live peacefully side-by-side as neighbours, political considerations are not uppermost. Challenging us to examine our own attitudes, Colin Chapman considers the issues involved in Christian engagement with Muslims and Islam. He explores, ultimately, how Christians can effectively bear witness to Jesus. This revised and updated edition incorporates brand new material on 'Islamic Terrorism', 'What is Islam?', 'The Qur'anic View of Christians' and 'Explaining Christian Beliefs About Jesus'. It will equip Christians to better understand Muslims and Islam in a rapidly changing world.

Exploring the interpretation of Old Testament promises and prophecies regarding Israel, this book critically examines the Christian Zionist perspective that links these texts to the Jewish return since the late 19th century and the establishment of Israel in 1948. It analyzes key passages, particularly Ezekiel 33-47 and Zechariah 9-13, in their original context and their New Testament implications. The discussion highlights the real-world impact of biblical interpretation on the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, emphasizing its political significance.

The Llantrisant branches, formed by the Llantrissant and Taff Vale Junction Railway (L&TVJR), whose passenger services ran from Pontypridd to Llantrisant, and the Treferig Valley Railway, came into being through nominally independent companies. The original L&TVJR main line always carried a worthwhile traffic, although it was relatively modest compared with other parts of the Taff Vale Railway. However, the later extensions and the Treferig Valley Railway were very much in the speculative tradition. The book is in A5 format with a square-backed Linson cover. It is printed on art paper throughout and consists of 136 pages and includes 47 maps and plans and 86 photographs.
