Ishmael and the Church: Or the Rise, Progress and Fall of Mohammedanism (1860)

""Ishmael and the Church: Or The Rise, Progress And Fall Of Mohammedanism"" is a historical book written by Lewis Cheeseman in 1860. The book explores the history of Islam and its founder, Prophet Muhammad, from the perspective of Christianity. Cheeseman argues that Islam originated from the descendants of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar, and that it was a deviation from the true faith of Christianity. The book traces the rise of Islam from its early beginnings in Mecca, its spread across Arabia, and its eventual conquest of much of the Middle East and North Africa. Cheeseman also discusses the various schisms within Islam, such as the Sunni-Shia divide, and the impact of Islamic civilization on the world. The book provides a critical analysis of Islam and its teachings, and argues that Christianity is the only true religion. Cheeseman's work is a valuable resource for scholars and students of religious studies, history, and theology.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
