In this series we have unveiled the dark side of Islam, but there is an even darker side--that is, Islam has no gospel. How do we reach people whose beliefs are radically different from our own? And how do we share Christ with humility and wisdom? That's the topic of this conversation with Dr. R.C. Sproul and special guest, Abdul Saleeb.

Dr. R.C. Sproul and Abdul Saleeb continue their conversation on the tenets of the Islamic faith and how they play out in radical groups around the globe. As they discuss the dark side of Islam, it's a wake-up call to Christians who may have become insulated from the actions and ideas of other world religions.

Both the Koran and the Bible describe wars and violence commanded by God. What's the difference between Muslims and Christians when they resort to violence to spread their faith? Dr. R.C. Sproul and Abdul Saleeb consider the checkered past of Christendom and look at how it compares with that of Islam.

Islam differs from Christianity in dramatic and fundamental ways. The Bible, for instance, describes a God who revealed Himself in Scripture ... while the Koran, however, promotes a God who cannot be known. Dr. R.C. Sproul and former Muslim, Abdul Saleeb, discuss some of the core differences between the teachings of the Bible and the Koran.

In a post-nine-eleven world, the awareness of Islam is at an all time high. But what is meant by terms like "fundamentalist" and "extremist"? And how do we differentiate Muslims and their religious convictions from a Christian worldview? This is the first in a five-part conversation between Dr. R.C. Sproul and former Muslim, Abdul Saleeb.

One of the deepest mysteries we have faced for generations is the origin of life. But from the biblical perspective, when we trace life back to the power supply, its very source ... we find God the Holy Spirit. And in the New Testament, we find that He is specifically the giver of spiritual life, as well.

Take a look back down the corridors of history and several people stand out as game-changing philosophers. Because of his contributions to the idea of being and the existence of God, Anselm ranks among those great thinkers.

We often think of Augustine as a theologian, but his philosophical contributions were equally influential. In this teaching, Dr. R.C. Sproul describes the life, philosophical achievements and impact of Saint Augustine.

What was Aristotle's concept of God? And how does it affect our mindset today? Dr. R.C. Sproul continues his overview of philosophy by asking these questions and teaches us about Aristotle's discovery that shapes every thought in your mind.

The early philosophers of the ancient world were the acting scientists of their day trying to understand the reality in which they existed. When we trace Aristotle's ideas down through the centuries all the way to the present moment, we find obvious consequences emerge. How have his musings shaped the world in which we now live?

What is the difference between opinion and knowledge? Everyone has an opinion about something, but what is that opinion based on? How do you truly know that you know anything? These are questions that Plato wrestled with for a lifetime. Now, centuries later, the world remains influenced by his conclusions.

Prior to filling the believers at Pentecost or descending like a dove at Christ's baptism, the Holy Spirit was active in Old Testament times. But what did He do? What was His role? What are the first references to His existence? In this message, Dr. R.C. Sproul looks at several moments when the Holy Spirit appeared in the Old Testament.

Mention "philosophy" in a casual conversation with a friend, and you may see his or her eyes glass over. Many people find philosophy boring or irrelevant. In this lesson, however, Dr. R.C. Sproul helps us recognize how Plato's philosophy influences surprising dimensions of our daily lives.
