In the acclaimed book Muslim Evangelism, Phil Parshall devotes one
chapter to "bridges" which can assist in facilitating understanding
between Islam and Christianity. In Bridges to Islam he expands that
key chapter into a book. The most promising bridges can be found
not in orthodox Islam, contends the author, but in "folk Islam,"
which is less well known in the West but which influences about 70
percent of the world's Muslims. "Popular Islam consists largely of
people who desire to know God and to be accepted by him," writes
the author. "They have a high view of one God who is . . .
all-powerful and merciful." The mystical Sufis press for a more
satisfying personal relationship with Allah. These teachings and
aspirations, argues the author, have immense potential as bridges,
which he has personally witnessed spending many years ministering
among Muslims. This thorough and in depth study of ways to bridge
folk Islam will be invaluable to missionaries, students, and those
interested in reaching Muslims for Christ.
