Examining Islam began as an idea back in 2012. CARM wanted to create a resource to equip Christians to interact with Muslims within their communities. Unlike other studies, Examining Islam will take you in-depth into Islamic Theology, Islamic Culture, and Biblical Responses to Islam. Dr. David Wood makes Islam approachable and understandable. We recognize that Islam is expanding at an increasing rate in the western world through conversion and immigration. As Christians, we must be prepared to present the gospel to Muslims.
Examining Islam is formatted to be 16 sessions that vary in length from 25 minutes to nearly an hour. Each session is organized by subject, i.e. Islam and Science, and has a workbook that will help students retain key pieces of information.
