Excerpt from The Setting of the Crescent and the Rising of the Cross: Or Kamil Abdul Messiah, a Syrian Convert From Islam to Christianity
It is not easy for a Mohammedan to embrace Christianity, but Kamil's history shows that when he is converted the Moslem becomes a strong and Vigorous Christian. The element of divine truth which Mohammed derived from the Old and New Testaments, and which runs like a vein of gold through that extraordinary book, the Koran, teaching the existence and attributes of God, the responsibility of man, and a final judgment, is a good foundation to build upon.

Excerpt from The Setting of the Crescent and the Rising of the Cross: Or Kamil Abdul Messiah, a Syrian Convert From Islam to Christianity
This book has been written as a labor of love. Its subject was one of nature's noblemen.
It is not easy for a Mohammedan to embrace Christianity, but Kamil's history shows that when he is converted the Moslem becomes a strong and vigorous Christian. The element of divine truth which Mohammed derived from the Old and New Testaments, and which runs like a vein of gold through that extraordinary book, the Koran, teaching the existence and attributes of God, the responsibility of man, and a final judgment, is a good foundation to build upon.
But to reach the foundation; to sweep away the rubbish of childish fables, traditions, and perversions which overlie the original monotheism of the Old Testament, and disarm the accumulated prejudices of twelve centuries - this is the work of the divine Spirit.
