Dr. Zwemer traces the collapse of Islam as a political power in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as the inevitable effect of the impact of Western Civilization at the turn of the twentieth century. Originally lectures delivered at Princeton Theological Seminary, the Theological Seminary of the Reformed Church in America, and at the Theological Seminary of the American Mission in Cairo, Zwemer later revised and expanded the lectures into book form.
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.
