Review Understanding Muslim Teachings and Traditions

Byron Snapp / Chalcedon Foundation:
A Guide For Christians: The Hadith is the collection of Mohammed's sayings and deeds. It is very influential in shaping the thinking and actions of the Muslims. Published in English it is a multi-volume work containing almost 5,000 pages. The author, a missionary to Muslim nations for forty years, has read the Hadith twice. In this volume, re-released in 2002, he has chosen twenty-one topics of the many covered in the Hadith. He devotes a chapter to each. Topics include "Hell," "Paradise," "Jesus," "Women," and "Jihad and Violence." In each chapter the reader will find numerous quotations from the Hadith. Each quotation is carefully referenced so the reader can go to the Hadith and find it. Additionally, the author provides helpful commentary in each chapter.
