What can Christians learn from Islam? Islam is seen by some as completely opposed to Christianity. Others imagine that Islam and Christianity really teach the same things. Gabriel Said Reynolds argues that Christians can learn instead from the ways in which Islam is distinct.

In a thoughtful examination of both Islamic belief and practice, Islamic Lessons for Christians describes how some Muslim practices today, and even sharia, can remind Christians of practices in their own tradition. Reynolds tells vivid stories of saints, popes, and emperors who encountered Muslims as opponents, and as friends.
