Overview
Presents profiles of the radicals, the reformers, and the revivalists of the Middle East, explaining the implications of each movement and the importance of each leader through the lenses of politics, economics, and Scripture.
Publishers Description
2009 Retailer's Choice Award winner "Inside the Revolution" takes you inside the winner-take-all battle for the hearts, minds, and souls of the people of the Middle East. It includes never-before-seen profiles of the Radicals, the Reformers and the Revivalists. It explains the implications of each movement and the importance of each leader not only through the lenses of politics and economics but through the third lens of Scripture as well. Today, wars and revolutions define the modern Middle East, and many believe the worst is yet to come. How real and serious is the threat of Radical Islam to American national security eight years after 9/11? Are there any Muslim leaders who oppose the violence of the Radicals--and is there any hope that such leaders will come to power in key countries in the Middle East? What is God doing in the Middle East--and is there any hope that Muslims will find faith in Jesus Christ? How can we as Christians help strengthen our brothers and sisters who love Jesus in the Muslim world, and how can we reach out to Muslims here at home? |

 | Scary and Encouraging Mar 3, 2010 |
| This non-fiction book current and recent events. It begins by telling the reader why Islamic jihad is so real and so terrifying. Rosenberg's well written and well researched book then examines a different brand of Islam that both surprised and encouraged me. Finally, Rosenberg wraps it all up with the outstanding news that Muslims, even in some areas hostile to non-Islamic religions, are turning to Christ and Christianity in amazing numbers and through sometimes miraculous circumstances. If you want a quick, short course on Islam and it's effect in the world contained in one volume that reads like exciting fiction, this book is it. | | |  | Chock full o' errors, misconceptions and more Feb 17, 2010 |
First, I'll confess that if I had read the inside of the dust jacket, or even seen the Tyndale imprimatur, I never would have looked at this book. But, I did check it out from my library, so I'm going to tell you to make the same mistake. Here's why:
Page 10: No, Shi'ite Iran would NOT give missiles to Sunni al-Qaida.
17: Iran isn't so dumb as to fire nuclear missile all around the Middle East and certainly not at Israel. It knows Israel has 300 nuclear weapons of its own, enough to obliterate Iran as a nation. For the same reason, it's not giving a nuke to Hezbullah.
19: Contra Bibi Netanyahu, "radical Islam" is not as monolithic as he claims, nor is all of it "messianic."
30: Rosenberg's "triumphalist West" vs. "decaying" Islam, with a timeline starting at the end of the Middle Ages, conveniently overlooks the Ottoman Empire.
48. His Muslim "angst" over the uncertainty of good works for salvation vs. "Christian assurance"? Well, Mr. Rosenberg, that could be equally applied to the "Judeo" half of the "Judeo-Christian" ethic/history you repeatedly mention. Ooopssss... (I love petard hoistings!)
68. The "torture" of the American embassy hostages in Iran in 1979-81? The actions he mentions pale before the waterboarding and other real tortures committed by Americans, including many a good Christian one.
Skipping ahead a number of pages, to other sections, to find other errors at this point...
368. "First century, New Testament Christianity" was NOT "so prevalent" in the area before the rise of Islam. Outside the borders of the Byzantine Empire, in the last century before the caliphate, Zoroastrianism and Manicheanism were the dominant religions. Beyond that, the only varieties of Christianity with any strength outside Byzantium to the east (and within parts of it that full first to the Muslims) were varieties that had already been declared heretical, like Nestorianism. That said, "first-century Christianity" had had layers of philosophical accretions by this time anyway, and wasn't what it was the.
476ff. Rosenberg lays his Christian theological cards down as a premillenial tribulationist. Hey, all you "Judeos" fig-leafing in the "Judeo-Christian" umbrella. It's about time for your mass conversion! That includes YOU, Mr. Prime Minister Netanyahu.
If you want anything close to a serious understanding of today's Middle East, or today's broader Muslim world, read somebody like Juan Cole. Or any of a couple hundred other books.
If you want religious wet dreams of red heifers and Temple Mounts, though, by all means, read this one! | | | | Much More Than the Media Gives! Jan 7, 2010 |
Inside the Revolution by Joel Rosenberg is not limited to the background of radical Islam in the Middle East, but also involves a look at the moderate Muslims, many of whom are educating their youth to avoid jihadist propaganda.
Yet there is still another level of the revolution involving those who are disenchanted with life under the extremists. Many have encountered the Lord Jesus in dreams, visions or through the spread of the gospel by fellow countryman.
That's what is really going on Inside the Revolution! | | | | last days Dec 9, 2009 |
| Joel writes the truth of what is taking place in the middle east, based on his own personal experience & interviews with the people of that area. He does not gloss over the work/actions of the jihadists. He also relates current events to the Biblical prophecy regarding the last days. He also shows that not all people in the middle east are in revolution. Many are trying to reform their government, nad many are being converted to Jesus Christ. A mix of reality and hope. | | | | If You Want to Know More about the Middle East Read This Dec 6, 2009 |
| This is a very informative book, from a man who knows. This book is part middle eastern history, part Bible prophesy and all fasinating reading. I know a lot more about how the Jihadist think and a lot more about the Christians living in the Arab areas. Mr. Rosenberg has a God given ability to predict what will happen in the Middle East and everyone should read this book. I also recommend his novel "The Ezekiel Option." | | | Write your own review about Inside The Revolution
