    5.35 Tony Costa, David Schrock, & Trent Hunter • Interview • "Lost Brothers or Mortal Enemies: A History of Islam's Teaching on Christianity"

    ABOUT THE EPISODE Are Islam and Christianity separated brothers, mortal enemies, or something in between? History tells the story Sponsor This month, we’re talking about how Christians engage with Islam, a conversation Southern Seminary has taken seriously for a long time. As President Al Mohler has put it, you can’t prepare a minister for today’s world without reckoning with Islam. That conviction is why Southern now offers a PhD in Islamic Studies, and why it’s home to the Jenkins Center, a team devoted to helping pastors, missionaries, and everyday believers reach their Muslim neighbors with the gospel. To find resources and learn more about degrees, visit sbts.edu/islamicstudies. And be sure to listen to our interview with Dr Ayman Ibrahim, who is the head of the Jenkins Center.
