Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In Understanding, Islam Dr. Dirks offers a timely and factually correct alternative to understanding Islam. It is written for the Western, and primarily Christian, reader. The primary focus of the Book is on what is termed Sunni Islam, i.e., the Islam practiced by approximately 85-90% of the self-professed Muslims in the world. The Book is unique in several respects. It treats Islam from its own point of view. It is written by a natural-born American for the Western reader, and thus may avoid some of the cultural overlay that accompanies some books on Islam written by other Muslim authors. The author is an American who has practiced Islam both while living in America and in the Middle East, thus offering a broader perspective than would have otherwise been possible. As a convert from Christianity to Islam, and as a former ordained minister within Christianity, the author does a very good job of expounding the commonalties and contrasts of Islam with Judaism and Christianity, while still avoiding the temptation to distort Islam by interpreting it from within a Judaeo-Christian perspective. The reader is introduced to Islam almost exclusively through the two primary sources of Islam, i.e., the Qur'an and the Sunnah, which are the only completely authoritative sources on Islam.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In this his latest book, Dr. Dirks begins by exploring the linguistic meaning and historical evolution of the messiah concept. In tracing the messiah concept among the Israelites, Dr. Dirks makes use of numerous Biblical passages and ancient Jewish writings to illustrate the earliest messiah concept and how that concept evolved into the three-messiah and two-messiah concepts that were so prevalent following the Babylonian captivity of the Israelites of the Southern Kingdom of Judah. Dr. Dirks then turns the readers' attention to the myriad of messiah figures that emerged in Palestine between 4 BCE and 135 CE. In closing, making use of extensive New Testament passages, he presents a provocative and daring thesis that there were two messiah figures named Jesus who operated during the same time in first-century CE Palestine and who were simultaneously tried by Pontius Pilate. One presented as a king messiah for which he was crucified, and one presented as a prophet messiah and was freed. It is posited that the identities and biographies of these two messiah figures were inadvertently fused by the New Testament gospel writers, thus accounting for some of the seeming inconsistencies in how Jesus is presented in the canonical gospels.
