From the Crescent to the Cross: Shepherding Muslim-Background Believers describes the author’s approach to serving in Muslim contexts, which he developed after many years of ministry. Undergirding this approach is the belief that pastoral care should not be compartmentalized when working with Muslims but should be part of the evangelistic effort from the beginning. The author looks to the example of Christ and His interaction with His first-century culture to draw parallels to reaching Muslims today. From the Crescent to the Cross considers the major challenges facing missionaries working in Muslim contexts, describes how to prepare converts to address issues in their Islamic past, and provides guidance for practical issues and discussions the practitioner will likely encounter.
