Alone with a Jihadist: A Biblical Response to Holy War

The very Bible which Christians read refers to their founder as The Prince of Peace. Despite this, many Christians support warmongering and unnecessary bloodshed rather than peace making. In a room for 7 hours with a radical Muslim, Taylor shares the story from his face to face encounter, of how many Muslims view the United States of America and the state of the Christian Church. It is one thing to look at Christianity from a Christian's perspective, but things change quite a bit when Christianity is viewed through the eyes of Muslims. Taylor says, their view is one every Christian must hear. This is the engaging story of that meeting.

Aaron D. Taylor was raised in a Midwestern charismatic church with the belief that Christians had a duty to take up arms in defense of their government and the ideals of freedom. He supported the actions of the U.S. government in Iraq and asserted that only one political party was the appropriate home for true believers of God. After a meeting in London with Khalid, a militant jihadist, Taylor came away with a deep questioning of the ideals that, up to that moment, formed a cornerstone for his theology.
