| In light of the current
political crisis engulfing our world and nation, we thought it might be
helpful to suggest some titles related to the issues of war and peace as
seen from various Christian perspectives. (Note: Some of these books are
now out of print. If you are interested in one of these titles, be sure
and check the Used Book section if the title is not listed as a New Book).
If you are interested in more details about the Islamic religion, please
refer to the recently published bibliography on Islam, and the history of
the Arabic peoples.
