“One reason why Muslims have historically been hard to reach is because the Christian message has often been presented in western wrappings. Drawing on his vast experience as a missionary in Bangladesh and the Philippines, Phil Parshall has helped practitioners and academics think through the implications of contextualization for church planting in Islamic settings. When in some cases the pendulum has swung too far to the left, Phil has cautioned against the danger of compromise and even syncretism. Therefore, given the ongoing controversy over this important topic, I heartily recommend Phil's balanced approach in, The God Next Door: Opening Doors of Peace and
Reconciliation with Muslims.”

“Dr. Phil Parshall's pioneering work in contextualizating the Christian approach to Muslims has led to several breakthroughs in the work among Muslims in South Asia.These lectures are an important contribution to the missionary enterprise in the Muslim world.”

“With 40 years of experience in Muslim minstry, Phil Parshall is comprehensive, intelligible and relevant. I can think of no one more relevant for practitioners. If you want to understand how to be more fruitful in ministry with Muslims, imbibe all you can of Phil Parshall.”
