For 20 years, Samuel M. Zwemer served as a missionary in Arabia. In Childhood in the Moslem World, Zwemer vividly sets forth the environment and the physical, intellectual, and social conditions of children based off his numerous years of observation and work at the turn of the twentieth century.
Nicknamed the “Apostle to Islam,” for nearly 40 years Samuel M. Zwemer lived and worked in the Middle East, preaching the Gospel of Jesus and training hundreds of missionaries. Founder and editor of The Moslem World, Zwemer—familiar with the land, language, and people of Islam—provided a window into a growing religion and culture that few Westerners knew. Zwemer’s legacy as one of the finest Christian scholars of Islam is still recognized today.
In the Logos edition, all Scripture passages in Arabia: The Cradle of Islam are tagged and appear on mouse-over. What’s more, Scripture references are linked to the wealth of language resources in your Logos library. If you own the English and Arabic Qur’an, you can follow along with Zwemer in his analysis of Islamic doctrine and his studies comparing Islam to Christianity. This makes these texts more powerful and easier to access than ever before for scholarly work or personal Bible study.
The claims of millions of children living and dying under the blighting influence of Islam are set forth with graphic fidelity. Both in text and illustrations, Dr. Zwemer’s new book covers much ground hitherto lying untouched in Muhammedan literature.
—Christian Work
It is anything but a book for children, it is about children, and is intended for the sober and Christian reading of those who may be stirred thereby to do something for their relief.
