About this Item

Print on Demand. This book gathers expert insights from a historic conference in Egypt in 1906 that was the first to address the need for specialized mission work among Muslim populations. The proceedings open a window into the methods and approaches that experts of the early 20th century believed essential for effective evangelism among Muslims. From these chapters, we gain a sense of what was known about Islam at the time, and of the spirit of cooperation and brotherhood with which Christian mission workers sought to engage with non-Christian communities. The volume reveals the challenges, successes, and failures of Christian missions among Muslims and offers guidance based on what was learned through decades of diligent effort and trial and error. This book will aid scholars and church leaders who seek to understand the history of Christian missions among Muslims and inform current discussions about the relationship between Christianity and Islam. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

A firsthand look at a landmark 1906 gathering that shaped Muslim world missions.

This collection presents the papers read at the Cairo conference, the discussions that followed, and the aims the participants set for global evangelization.

The volume traces how mission societies coordinated plans, shared methods, and encouraged literature and training to reach Muslim communities. It highlights the roles of committees, delegates, and early efforts to mobilize workers, schools, clinics, and Bible women in key regions. You’ll also see reflections on the growth of native Christians and the ongoing search for practical paths to renewal and revival.
What you’ll experience

• The program and structure of the Cairo conference, including key officers and decisions.
• The push for uniform methods in evangelism and the creation of Muslim-focused literature.
• Real-world outreach ideas, like Bible women, hospital work, schools, and patient care as avenues for reach.
• The role of student and native movements in expanding mission impact.

Ideal for readers of religious history, missionary studies, and early 20th‑century efforts to engage Islam.
