Missions
This book reveals a rich diversity of Anabaptist engagement with Muslims around the world. Here are essays and reports from missionaries in the field, administrators at mission agencies, professors and scholars of mission, and theologicals. Among these voices is a spirit of dialogue, questioning, agreeing, amazement, and sometimes dissent. Mennonites Meeting Muslims does not seek to present a homogenized view that flows through a predetermined Anabaptist ideological grid. Rather it is a forum for giving and receiving counsel and a place to share stories and reflections that will encourage and help to equip Christians for the calling to presence in the way of Christ.

After 2000 years the gospel continues to surprise if only we let it. David Shenk's goal in Surprises of the Christian Way is to do precisely that: to enable not only long-time Christians but also seekers wondering why the gospel matters to be surprised anew by the fresh and amazing power of Christian faith to transform lives.

Written in simple and anecdotal yet fresh style, this book invites all readers to enter the teachings and stories of the bible and make them their own. Readers from a wide variety of cultures will find themselves entering and learning from each other's stories of faith as well as the search for belief in Christ.

Education
Islam and Christianity seem to be at opposite and unbridgeable poles, both committed to world mission. Given the political tension and violent acts that sometimes surround these two major world religions, it is essential for both sides to understand the other-its history, beliefs, traditions, and vision for the future.

This invaluable resource from an expert in comparative religious studies,examines Islam and Christianity at their deepest spiritual, cultural, and communal levels. It explores the similarities, and yet unavoidable differences found in Isaac and Ishmael, Jesus and Muhammad, the Bible and the Qur'an, Jerusalem and Medina, the Eucharist and the Hajj, the Church and the Ummah. Reflecting years of conversations and dialogue with Muslim friends, this is narrative theology, full of anecdote and personal experience that bridges the poles and builds understanding.

David W. Shenk was born and raised in a Christian missionary home in Tanzania. For ten years he was involved in educational work in Islamic Somalia and lectured in comparative religion and church history at Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya for six years. Since 1980, Shenk has been based at Eastern Mennonite Missions (EMM) headquarters, Salunga, Pennsylvania, where he helps to coordinate interfaith commitments.

Appropriate for university and seminary classes, this guide also includes study questions for small groups or Sunday school classes. Copyright 2003 Herald Press.

Bible Study
Every neighborhood on earth deserves to have a faithful church in it. This can happen only when established churches cooperate with each other and allow the Holy Spirit to help them create new churches in other communities.

To provide helpful approaches to church growth, David W. Shenk and Ervin R. Stutzman went to the book of Acts to see how the apostles started new churches. They weave into the biblical commentary practical applications gleaned from contemporary theology, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and communication theory. Each chapter concludes with questions for review, study, and discussion.

Evangelism
In a comprehensive and systematic way, David W. Shenk covers the major current human options for making meaning out of life. As a committed Christian who values interfaith dialogue, Shenk indentifies more local religious options and four truly global options--Buddism, Christianity, Islam, and Marxism.

Global Gods is a fresh approach to comparative religions. It is a substantial contribution to the developing literature and widespread interest concerning the role of religion in human society. In an increasingly pluralistic world, the global issues explored are not only theoretical, but have Practical urgency.

Selected by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association as one of the top five missions/evangelism books of the year (1996).

Cultures
Mission in our way, says David W. Shenk, oppresses people and destroys cultures. Mission in Christ's way is good news to oppressed people everywhere. Our Creator is the good missionary who seeks us and invites us into a joyful relationship with him, with others, and with creation. Jesus gathers those who say yes to his call into a community of faith who are called to be a light to the nations. Two astonishing surprises compel the church into mission. The first surprise is that in Jesus the anointed one God suffers for us. Jesus lays down his life that we might have life. The second surprise is that God commissions the church to serve in mission as Jesus did. The Spirit of God calls every congregation to serve in mission.

Theology
Millions of Muslims and Christians are neighbors and worship the same God. Yet they seldom witness to each other. In this book, a Muslim and a Christian attempt to witness and listen. The issues they deal with are profound. Badru D. Dateregga and David W. Shenk open up the basic questions of the human situation and confront similarities and differences in Muslim and Christian responses.

In recent years Muslim-Christian interactions have too often been antagonistic. Here the authors pioneer another way--that of authentic dialogue between friends.
