Last week, Anthony shared some preliminary considerations about reading the Bible with our Muslim friends, including thinking about being hospitable, things to think about with the Bible or other physical artifacts, and then some questions to think through asking. Today we discuss some of those thoughts.

Before we dive into talking about Genesis, some preliminary considerations on how to read the Bible with our Muslim friends, thinking about being hospitable, how to use and think through the Bible, and how to structure our time together.

In this episode, we are going to cover some encouragement for the possibly intimidating task of exploring Scripture with friends from another tradition, as well as practical tips for reading with our Muslim friends, including considering translations to use.

We explore more about reading Deuteronomy, how it influences the New Testament, and where we might start reading the Bible with our Muslim friends.

We continue laying the groundwork on how to read the Bible with our Muslim friends by talking about different places that we could start reading with them.

Where our Muslim friends are in their spiritual journey should shape where we start in the Bible. One very wise and learned Muslim friend who had turned to Christ suggested that the Book of Deuteronomy was the one book every Muslim should read. He said it laid the groundwork for our faith in ways that Muslims can understand and appreciate.

We are beginning a new series! This one is on reading the Bible with our Muslim friends.

When we say we are free from the law and we are forgiven, what do we really mean? Do we mean that we are free to go out and do wrong knowing that God will forgive us? When we get the opportunity to talk about what we believe with our friends of the world religions, it is important that we speak of our faith in ways that will not cause them confusion.
