The Cross and the Crescent

Jerald F. Dirks · 2001

A comparison of Christianity and Islam by a former Methodist deacon.

In The Cross and the Crescent, Jerald F. Dirks draws on his background as a Christian scholar and clergyman before his conversion to Islam to compare the two faiths’ scriptures, doctrines, and histories. Written to inform rather than attack, it is aimed at readers seeking an accessible, well-grounded comparison. Omar Suleiman describes it as an early influence on his understanding of comparative theology.
