This week we were hugely privileged to engage in discussion with Dr Richard McCallum, one of our longstanding friends, on the topic of his recently published book, ‘Christian Evangelical Responses to Islam: A contemporary overview’.
Published by Bloomsbury Academic, the book draws on over 300 texts published by Evangelicals in the first two decades of the twenty-first century and explores what the Evangelical micro-public sphere has to say about key issues in Christian–Muslim relations today.
He was joined by Ashlee Rose Quosigk, Visiting Scholar at the University of Georgia, whose own work, ‘American Evangelicals: Conflicted On Islam’, formed part of our discussions.
A video of the event will be shared here soon.
