Understanding Islam
Islam has become a frequent and pronounced topic in recent years due to current events. These events are not specifically related to home education but affect our entire society. However, many home educators will undoubtedly be thinking about Islam and how it should be viewed. For a proper Christian understanding of Islam, Education Unlimited strongly recommends that families consult Volume 5 of Ted Byfield’s Christian History series, The Sword of Islam. This book is available from some libraries and can also be purchased at: The Sword of Islam. That web page also provides a free, downloadable sample chapter in PDF that is itself well worth reading.
