 As an aerospace systems engineer, it was essential to learn quite a bit (not a pun) about a lot of things so that the particulars could be put together in a complimentary fashion. As true for any aerospace system so also it is true for the most important study of the infallible revelation by the Creator God of the universe. It is not enough to get your theology from a translation (although most of us do) we must also learn a bit about the original language. This, however, is not enough until we learn how to interpret the information. But this is not enough, because we now need to know how to prepare and deliver God’s Message to men. Finally, we need to learn how to Systematize and defend this information. To this end my books were written.

~~My thanks go to many previous students; in particular Dr. Paul Losiewicz (circa 1974), who encouraged me to include textual criticism as part of our course of study; Mark Morris and Bob Keith, more recent students, who encouraged me through our course of study while I was preparing five previous textbooks and the first few pages of this synopsis; the Systems Research Group who scanned and prepared for inclusion, the page containing Ephesians 1:1-11 from ℘46, the Chester Beatty Papyri.  In the days when this original manuscript was written, personal scanners were not economically feasible.  Thanks goes to the staff of the Online Bible for providing a valuable tool for the three texts used in Figures 2-3.  My thanks also go to Dr.

The major contents of this manual have been taken from classroom lectures given by Dr. Milton Jones at the Western Conservative Baptist Seminary (1969-1971) and additions made by the author as seemed appropriate to enhance understanding of this package. It is hoped that there has been nothing added that will significantly change the value of Dr. Jones' course to train men for the work of the pulpit/teaching ministry. It is assumed that this manual will help motivated students to learn this discipline.

Because of the present world situation, the direct command of our LORD Jesus in Mat 28:19-20, and the resultant rise in the Jihadist Terrorism, it is required for every Christian to share the Gospel of The Grace Of Christ Jesus our LORD with as many individuals as possible. The Evangelization of Islam, therefore, was written to bring an evangelistic/discipling challenge to English speaking Christians. Because of the difficulty of relating the Gospel to Muslims, it is believed that a thorough exposure to the various elements of Islam, contrasted with the Biblical Theology of Christianity, is required. An adequate and comprehensive look at the subject Islam would require a lifetime of study and analysis.
