Religions and mission in the Arab world
DECEMBER 2008: St Francis Magazine: 6 issues each year

This magazine contains a smorgasboard of articles; if you have an interest in mission and the Arab World, it is likely that at least a few of these articles are helpful to you!

We continue to welcome new writers for your St Francis Magazine; if you want to respond to what you read, or if you have ideas for writing an article, contact us by all means.

If you need a speaker for your group, or church, or conference, feel free to contact us; we can discuss whether we can play a helpful role with our wide network of experienced and knowledgable writers from the Arab World and beyond.

We have just decided that as from now, we will publish 6 issues per year of this magazine. So the next one will be issued early February. We have been developing writers, we have found writers, and we think we are now in a position to increase our value for you!

Do not forget to look on our weblog every now and then. There, we regulraly publish interesting facts from the Arab World, church and mission. Have a look HERE.

The Lord bless you in His Kingdom service!

This series of debates was first published on www.americanthinker.com and on www.answeringislam.org.  It is used here with permission of the author, James Arlandson.

James Arlandson, Ph.D., teaches introductory philosophy and world religions at a college in southern California. He has published a book, Women, Class, and Society in Early Christianity: Models from Luke-Acts  (Hendrickson, 1997).

On April 3, 2005 Mr. Soliman al-Buthe (aka AlBut’hi), a Saudi Wahabi, wrote Arlandson a letter in order to open a dialogue. Included was An Open Letter to Congress, in which he explained a gentler and kinder Wahabi movement that began in the eighteenth century by Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul al-Wahab, a Hanbalist scholar. Mr. al-Buthe says that Wahabism is a fundamentalist reform movement that that seeks to return to a purer Islam. This movement is no threat to America or the world.After a series of emails in which he said that he is in contact with Saudi scholars and that Arlandson should respond to his ideas, they decided to correspond in the following format:
