American Christians and Islam

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the complex relationship between American evangelical Christians and Islam, particularly following the September 11 attacks. It highlights how contemporary evangelical views, often labeling Islam as violent, are influenced by historical perspectives. Thomas Kidd explores the tension within Christian conservatism, where some seek to foster a more positive dialogue with Muslims, contrasting sharply with the prevailing negative sentiments. This examination reveals the deep-seated historical contexts that shape modern evangelical attitudes towards Islam.
