Book Description
Excerpt from Raymond Lull: And Six Centuries of Islam At the time of Raymond Lull's birth in 1235, the great series of campaigns which we know as the Crusades were drawing towards their close. More than six centuries had passed since Mohammed died in 632. He had brought the pagans of Arabia to the worship of one God, and his successors went forth to other lands, at first mostly Christian, to enforce the same message and to proclaim that Mohammed had superseded all previous prophets, including the Christ. Their armies came with this message against peoples whose Christianity was largely corrupted and divided into warring sects, some of which helped the invader. The alterna tive to acceptance of Islam was for pagans the sword, for Jews and Christians the payment of a yearly poll-tax and a degraded position in state and society, for, wherever the faith of Islam con quered, there the law of the Koran must govern the land no less than the religion.

Book Description
In this groundbreaking work, renowned missionary and scholar Dr. Samuel M. Zwemer brings to life the extraordinary story of Raymond Lull, the first great missionary to the Muslim world. Drawing from his extensive experience in Arab lands and his deep understanding of Islam, Zwemer presents a compelling portrait of a 13th-century visionary whose life and methods remain profoundly relevant for modern missions. Zwemer's biography, introduced by Robert E. Speer, offers an unparalleled look at Lull's pioneering approach to interfaith dialogue and Muslim evangelism. It explores Lull's conversion, his years of preparation, and his tireless efforts to share the Gospel in North Africa. The author highlights Lull's innovative strategies, including his mastery of Arabic, study of Muslim philosophy, and development of new apologetic methods. This work not only rescues Lull's legacy from obscurity but also challenges readers to consider their own role in Muslim outreach. Zwemer's intimate knowledge of both Christian missions and Islamic culture provides unique insights into Lull's life and the continuing relevance of his mission. Essential reading for missionaries, missiologists, and anyone interested in Christian-Muslim relations, this biography presents Raymond Lull as a model of sacrificial love, intellectual rigor, and unwavering faith in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
