The Search for Truth about Islam

Join Michele Bossers as she leads a book study on Ben Daniel’s The Search for Truth about Islam, sponsored by the Justice Committee. The book is available for $10 online, and two copies can be found in the ELPC Library.

In his book, Presbyterian pastor Ben Daniel tackles common stereotypes and misconceptions that tend to define Islam in the popular imagination. Daniel also looks at Christianity’s own history of violence and explores what he calls “the American cult of fear,” particularly as it relates to the rise of Islamophobia in the United States. Blending travel narrative, interviews, and well-crafted storytelling, Daniel helps debunk the myths and put a human face on Islam in America.

“Those looking for a basic introduction and a refutation of common stereotypes will welcome Daniel’s straightforward prose and friendly, approachable tone.” —Publishers Weekly
