About The Book: Arabia: The Cradle of Islam by Samuel M. Zwemer explores the geography, peoples, tribes, and politics of the Arabian Peninsula, presenting it as the birthplace of Islam. Zwemer, a Christian missionary and scholar, provides historical and cultural insights into Islam's rise and spread, alongside accounts of missionary work and Christian outreach in the region. He examines the challenges of evangelism in a predominantly Muslim society and the spiritual, social, and political dynamics of Arabia. While informative, the book reflects early 20th-century Western missionary perspectives, combining scholarly observation with evangelical zeal and often portraying Islam in a critical light. About The Author: Samuel Marinus Zwemer (1867–1952), known as "The Apostle to Islam," was a pioneering American missionary, theologian, and scholar devoted to Christian outreach in Muslim-majority regions. A prolific author, Zwemer wrote extensively on Islam, including Arabia: The Cradle of Islam, The Moslem Christ, and Childhood in the Moslem World. His works combined ethnographic detail with evangelical zeal, aiming to expose the spiritual, social, and moral conditions of the Islamic world while urging Christian missions. Deeply committed to interfaith engagement, Zwemer believed Christianity offered the ultimate answer to Islam’s challenges and emphasized prayer, cultural understanding, and strategic mission work in Muslim contexts.
