   I wrote a review of Daniel C. Peterson’s book on Muhammad for the CRI Journal recently, so I found this little announcement quite interesting. This is one debate I am looking forward to listening to! Details here.

   It has been over two months since my last installment in my series in response to Ali Ataie’s attack on the credibility of the Apostle Paul, found here. My last post can be found here. I played with the idea of moving to the video format for the continuation of these replies, but given that the original article is text

   Right as I am typing this the debate in Toronto between Dave Hunt and Shabir Ally is getting ready to start. I can assure you: if you spend the time to read the following two articles by Sam Shamoun, you will know far more about the topic of the Bible and the Qur’an than anyone will learn during the course

   I am posting my opening statement from the Seattle debate with Shabir Ally. It will be broken into three sections. It is my hope my fellow believers will be encouraged to speak about the cross to their Muslim friends by this presentation.

   A young man has attempted to defend at least a portion of Deedat’s argument on John 1:1, here. But here is a strong illustration of the fact that “a little Greek is a dangerous thing.”

   This is a response to this video.

   Here is a pdf of the discussion in channel.

   Here is an article from muslimmatters.org that is worth reading. It deals with the Ahl al-Kitab, (أهل الكتاب), “the People of the Book,” which in the Qur’an, depending on context, is a reference to Christians, Jews, or Christians and Jews. I.e., monotheists who possess the Scriptures that Allah sent down before the Qur’an. It is good to listen to the

   I was sent a link to John Piper’s video response to the controversy over “A Common Word.” I am providing it here. I would go beyond Dr. Piper and say that I am not simply profoundly disappointed in the “Christian” response: I found the reply, titled “Loving God and Neighbor Together,” a sad example of Christian dhimmitude. Dhimmitude is the

   I managed to find a much higher quality version of the South African presentation Deedat made against the deity of Christ. Here is the first in a series of rebuttals of his presentation. As you watch, note the packed house to whom he is speaking. There is only one Christian missionary for every 400,000 Muslims in the world. Pray the

   Documentation of errors on the part of Ahmed Deedat, assisted and made even better by Sam Shamoun. Thanks Sam!

   The scarey thing is, there are some who can’t see, or refuse to see, how utterly lopsided this affair was. Thank God for Sam Shamoun. Pray for him!

The most recent edition of the Ordained Servant (produced by the OPC) is on the topic of Encountering Islam. From the editor: Since September 11, 2001, Americans have discovered that we can no longer ignore Islam as a political force or as a religion. The confusion of those two realms is inherent in Islam, and, sadly, is found with some

   Following the debate in Seattle I invested some time in responding to some post-debate “chatter,” you might call it, in the form of comments from Shabir Ally regarding the topics we discussed during the debate (which is now available in mp3 format, and Lord willing, in DVD format very soon). In any case, I have not been able to do

···I was working in my office this afternoon, preparing sermons for church tomorrow, when someone with the nick “Muslm” joined our channel. I have taken out some of the channel banter that was not relevant, the joins/parts, etc., so here is the conversation that followed: * Muslm has joined #prosapologian Hello Muslm. DrOakley, Hi :]

Today I reviewed many of the (at times outrageous) claims of Islamic apologist Nadir Ahmed, the same gentleman who appeared at my church Sunday evening. In the middle of the program I did take one call, however, from our LDS friend Pierre, who wished to discuss the series of articles I have done recenlty on the LDS concept of Jesus

   I would like to take this Christmas morning to speak directly to the growing number of Islamic readers we have here on our blog. I would like to thank you for stopping by and reading what we have to say. We appreciate the opportunity of proclaiming to you the faith of Christianity, a faith that had been proclaimed for hundreds

   I am very thankful Rich has managed to get the mp3 audio of the debate with Shabir Ally on the crucifixion uploaded and ready to go! Here is the link. Enjoy and be encouraged!

   We have wrapped up recording a total of thirty two segments of video, twenty one of which are specifically for Iran, eleven others for other venues (all on the topic of Islam). The folks at the studio were kind enough to convert one of the first specifically Islam-related programs to a video format I can post on YouTube, and so
