Editorial Reviews
"In his latest work,
The Muslim Majority, Robin Hadaway describes how folk Islam, which represents the beliefs and practices of the majority of Muslims, is expressed in the main branches of Islam. Sufficiently academic but refreshingly practical, Hadaway provides specific instruction on how contextualization can be used to effectively communicate the gospel cross-culturally in evangelizing folk Muslims.
The Muslim Majority should not be overlooked by anyone who desires a genuine understanding of Islam and is mandatory reading for those who desire to reach folk Muslims with the good news of Jesus Christ."
--Paul Chitwood, president, International Mission Board
"In
The Muslim Majority, professor Hadaway engages with the challenge of bringing the message of salvation to folk Muslims. This innovative book draws on years of experience to offer creative solutions to the long-standing challenge of reaching Muslims for Christ. Hadaway reports that conventional gospel presentations in terms of a guilt/innocence worldview, supplemented by doctrinal apologetics, will not answer the felt spiritual needs of the '70% majority' of Muslims. Instead, he calls for creative approaches to reach these people, who see life through a fear/power worldview (folk Muslims), or through an existential/transcendent worldview (Sufis). This is a vital contribution to the greatest missional challenge facing the church today."
--Mark Durie, senior research fellow, Arthur Jeffery Centre for the Study of Islam, Melbourne, Australia
"This is a useful introduction to folk Islam in African contexts. Hadaway provides a balance between contextual explanations and his personal experiences. He also points helpfully to redemptive analogies as effective means to introduce gospel truth."
--Ant Greenham, associate professor of Missions and Islamic Studies, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
"Dr. Robin Hadaway takes you deep into the heart of the vast majority of Muslims. He digs deep beneath the veneer of formal Islam that informs most of the current approaches that largely address matters of theology and culture. Then he presents us with a more effective approach that addresses the 'real' worldview of the majority of Muslims, folk Islam, which is a mixture of religious beliefs, mysticism, and superstitious practices. This approach can trigger a revolutionary method that promises to multiply the fruit of missionary labor. This book is not only to be read but also to be shared for maximum exposure."
--Georges Houssney, founder and president, Horizons International
"Robin Hadaway writes out of costly service, personal experience, and serious missiological reflection concerning what it would take for ordinary Muslims amongst the Beja people to find most sympathetically that Jesus Christ desires to be their Savior and Lord. On the author's heart, especially, are folk Muslims and Sufi folk Muslims. He evaluates various historic and contemporary approaches to Christian sharing of the gospel with Muslims and proposes some contextualized missional approaches meaningful within the worldview of the Beja. I am pleased to commend his helpful contribution."
--Bill Musk, retired Anglican Bishop of North Africa
"Dr. Hadaway, writing from his perspective as an academician, has compiled excellent insights into the, at times, esoteric world of folk Islam. His research on Sufism and African Traditional Religions are of particular note. Hadaway has refuted the common-held belief that Islam is monolithic and exclusively doctrinal. His sharing of practical insights are worth the price of this relevant book."
--Phil Parshall, missionary, SIM International
"Robin Hadaway gets to the heart of what leads to an effective witness to Muslims when he proposes that it must be contextualized according to worldview. As he develops this argument the various chapters provide useful insight into how to approach each Muslim context according to the real-life circumstances of those who live there. For those who would go beyond general references to the world of Islam to a level that seeks to personally encounter a Muslim in their context with the gospel, this book is a must-read."
--Dean Sieberhagen, associate professor of Islamic studies and director, Islamic Studies Program, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
"Robin Hadaway in
The Muslim Majority exposes the fallacy of the widely-held notion that most Muslims adhere to Islamic orthodoxy in both faith and practice. The result is that most strategies for reaching Muslims fail because they are not designed to understand the actual folk Islam which often prevails in the lives of the majority of Muslims in the world. Not since Phil Parshall's
Bridges to Islam, published in 1983, has a book come along which so helpfully addresses the particular challenges posed by folk Islam. May this book be widely read by those serving the nearly 2 billion Muslims who still await the fulfillment of their deepest hopes."
