All Christendom Facing All of Islam
Dr. Samuel Zwemer, editor of the Moslem World, author of several books on missions, and an acknowledged authority on the Moslem question, said: "Next to China, the largest missionary problem, as well as one of the most difficult, is the evangelization of the Mohammedan world. We face to-day a call from the Mohammedan world at large, and especially in Asia, such as we have never faced before. The whole of Christendom for the first time in history faces the whole of Islam. There never has been a time when this problem has so riveted the attention of the whole world. There never was a time when so many books were written on the character, growth, etc., of the Moslem people. Eight foreign magazines are devoted to it entirely. There are over two hundred million followers of the prophet in the world. Of these, fifty million are on the borderland,—geographically, psychologically, and spiritually,—who can be won to Christ with some effort."
