LMT Webinar - Standing in the Shoes of Muslims as they Look at the War in Gaza
LMT & Partners Event
Date / March 9, 2024 (Saturday)
Location / Online / From 7-9 pm (EST)
You are invited to hear from Dr. Nabeel Jabbour on how Christians can stand in the shoes of Muslims as they look at the war in Gaza. He wrote:
“Despite their diversity, Muslims all over the world agree on four things: 1) God is one 2) The Qur’an is the holy book 3) Muhammad is the messenger of God 4) Palestinians experienced injustice and the Christian West looked the other way. My motivation in addressing this topic is the Great Commission. How would Muslims move as a result of the Gaza war, towards fundamentalism and fanaticism or towards moderation and open-mindedness? We all agree that it is easier to reach out to an open-minded Muslim with the gospel than to reach out to a Muslim fundamentalist.”
In this webinar, Dr. Jabbour will present and discuss:
- Why Christians need to understand how Muslims view the war in Gaza
- How the Muslim worldview affect their understanding and acceptance of the Gospel of Christ
- How you can communicate with your Muslim friends about the war in Gaza with love and respect
Dr. Nabeel T. Jabbour grew up in Lebanon and was a Lebanese before he got the US citizenship. He lived with his family in Egypt for 15 years before moving to Colorado Springs, his current home where he works with The Navigators. Although Dr. Jabbour comes from an Arab Christian background, for the first fifty years of his life, Muslims were his neighbors, teachers, roommates, and later his friends and students.
While earning a doctorate in Islamics, Dr. Jabbour's method of study was phenomenology. It is a method of study where the phenomenon is allowed to speak for itself resulting in a compassionate understanding of the phenomenon from the adherent's point of view. He did not want to project his prejudice on Islam and Muslims and come to predetermined conclusions. Instead, he learned to put on Muslim worldview lenses, to stand in their shoes, and to see the world through their eyes.
Dr. Jabbour was a professor and frequent lecturer at seminaries and churches around the world and he is the author of 'The Crescent Through The Eyes of The Cross', 'Unshackled and Growing', 'The Rumbling Volcano' and 'The Unseen Reality'.
