Ebook: Moslem Women

Moslem Women is built around six main chapters, with half devoted to the place and experience of Islamic women and half considering Christian mission to Islamic women and associated themes. The Zwemers acknowledge some of the great women of Islamic history, such as Rabia, the famous early mystic, and Nurah Mahal, wife of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. They speak in glowing terms about advances in the women's situation in post-Ottoman Turkey. Samuel and Amy Zwemer's dedication to serving Muslims and to seeing them as people rather than as faceless numbers provides an excellent model for today's Christians who feel called to engagement with Islam.
