- Luis Carlos Reyes
I. Muslim Objection: The Incarnation is Metaphysically Incoherent
II. Analysis of the Muslim Argument
III. Christian Chalcedonian Response
IV. The Son as Eternally a Divine Person
V. Summary of Christian Responses to Muslim Apologists

Personal Evangelism to Muslims
- David Menkel
This comprehensive workshop equips Christian believers with practical tools and biblical foundations for effective evangelism, with a special focus on witnessing to Muslims. Participants will learn about five strategic engagement methods—proclamation, friendship, contextual, dialogue, and apologetic approaches—while developing skills in prayer-guided evangelism, Holy Spirit sensitivity, and effective conversation control with salvation as the ultimate goal. The training provides information for reaching Muslims, including biblical corruption claims, Trinity questions, Christ's deity, Quranic authority, and works-based versus grace-based salvation, while teaching believers to apply biblical wisdom, use apologetics and polemics as complementary tools, and speak truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) during challenging yet compassionate gospel conversations.


Answering Islam’s Five Main Objections to
Christianity
- Tony Gurule

Appealing to Those Under Islamic Tyranny with
the Christian Gospel
- Dr. David Lehman

Jesus: Son of God or Son of Man? 
- Dr. Edward Dalcour 
Because in the OT and NT, non-divine men and angels were referred to as Elohim (“god, gods”), and “son(s) of God,” and “son of man” (esp. Ezekiel), Muslims reject the Christian belief that Jesus’ claims to be the “Son of God,” and “Son of man” were claims of deity. Thus when Christians affirm the deity of Christ as the Son of God or Son of Man, Muslims respond: “Tons of sons. Many men and angels are called “sons of God"—this is not a divine claim.”
However, Jesus’ claim to be the “Son of God,” and the “Son of Man” were unique, unambiguously denoting ontological deity (for many reasons), which both the unbelieving Jews and Chritians recognized.

Do Muslims Worship the God of the Bible? 
- Brother Danny Usary

Which Qur’an?
Challenging the Narrative of Perfect Preservation
 - Sister Rachel S.

Communicating the Incarnation to Muslims Using the Bible & the Quran
- Stephen Cserhalmi

Dismantling the Hadith—the 2nd Islamic Authority
- Louis Lionheart

The Book of Acts & Witnessing to Muslims 
- Vocab Malone
Mosque Evangelism: Is It Biblical?
Should Christians Witness to Muslims at THE MOSQUE? Christian evangelists  often wait outside on the public sidewalk to give the message of the gospel to Muslims as they are leaving Friday prayer. Should we do this? A big part of what the early church did was evangelize AT THE JEWISH SYNAGOGUES. Vocab shows that mosque evangelism is a parallel case as we explore WHAT IS THE APOSTOLIC MODEL FOR EVANGELISM?

Psuedepigraphical Sources in the Quran
- Professor Jim Baber
This presentation on the Qur’an shows that the Qur’an fails its claim of being a unique book (Surah 10:37).  The Qur’an has clear content from what is called the Pseudepigrapha.  The focus and intent of this presentation was to introduce you to the Pseudepigrapha, the content of select Pseudepigrapha and its relationship to the Qur’an and then in the workshop a discussion on how to use this material and possible Muslim objections.
It is important that you have a rudimentary understanding of what composes the body of literature commonly called the Pseudepigrapha or Apocrypha. I highly suggest procuring at least some of the recommended books to further your education.

One Minute Evangelism: Reaching Out to
Muslims Through Social Media
- Pastor Sam Yoo

Abraham Offers His Son: Engaging Muslims on Common Ground
- Evangelist Tony Yu
The ultimate goal of apologetics and polemics is to share the Gospel.  Sometimes, the Gospel is its own apologetic and polemic.  Sometimes, you can skip the steps of defending the Bible or disproving other belief systems before presenting the Gospel.  Some people are ready because God has been working on them, and they will respond to the Gospel because it rings true to those whom God is calling.  In the case of Islam, the Qur’an also has a story of Abraham sacrificing his son.  The second holiest day in the Muslim calendar is Eid al-Adha which commemorates this event.  Because this story is in fact a typological pre-enactment of the crucifixion of Jesus, it’s a great way to preach the Gospel to Muslims by explaining a story they already know, but one they don’t really understand.  This presentation will highlight all the ways the story of Abraham sacrificing his son parallels Jesus’ crucifixion.  As you explain these parallels to a Muslim friend, he will hear the Gospel.

​
As a young man, Josh McDowell considered himself an agnostic. He truly believed that Christianity was worthless. However, when challenged to intellectually examine the claims of Christianity, Josh discovered compelling, overwhelming evidence for the reliability of the Christian faith. After trusting in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, Josh’s life changed dramatically as he experienced the power of God’s love.
After his conversion, his plans for law school turned instead to plans to tell a doubting world about the truth of Jesus Christ. After studying at Kellogg College, Josh completed his college degree at Wheaton College and then attended Talbot Theological Seminary, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Master of Divinity degree.
In 1961, Josh joined the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ International. Not long after, he started the Josh McDowell Ministry* to reach young people worldwide with the truth and love of Jesus.
​
Well known as an articulate speaker, Josh has addressed more than 25 million people, giving over 27,000 talks in 125 countries.

As he traveled to other countries, Josh quickly realized that where people were sick, homeless, and hungry, words were not enough. In 1991, Josh founded Operation Carelift to meet the physical and spiritual needs he discovered in orphanages, hospitals, schools, and prisons in the countries of the former Soviet Union. Since that time, Operation Carelift has delivered humanitarian aid (food, clothing, and medical supplies) worth more than $46,000,000. That is the equivalent of 278 forty-ton containers. Nearly one million children have received school supplies, food items, hygiene items, and toys from the volunteers that traveled twice a year to share God’s love with them.

Josh has received two significant honors from the Russian people because of these efforts. He is the only non-Russian to receive an honorary doctor of pediatrics degree from the Russian Academy of Medicine — in recognition of his work among the children of Russia. Also, Josh is the only foreigner to become a member of the prestigious Russian Club of Scientists. Operation Carelift, which has grown into in one of the largest humanitarian aid organizations based in the United States, is now a part of Global Aid Network (GAiN USA).
In the United States, Josh and his team have created many cutting-edge live events to help young people stand strong and firm in their faith in the face of a rapidly-changing culture. These have often developed into full-blown campaigns, such as:

• Six Hours with Josh
• Why Wait?
• Counter the Culture
• Right From Wrong
• True Foundations

Since 1960, Josh has written or co-authored 150 books in 128 languages including:

• More Than a Carpenter — over 27 million copies distributed
• Evidence That Demands a Verdict — named one the twentieth century’s top 40 books and one of the thirteen most influential books of the last 50 years on Christian thought by World Magazine.

In addition to many other awards, Josh has been nominated 36 times for the Gold Medallion Award and has received that award on four occasions.
In spite of all the honors and awards he has received, Josh will tell anyone that his greatest joys and pleasures come from his family. He and his wife Dottie have been married 46 years. They have four children and ten grandchildren.

* Josh McDowell Ministry is a Cru ministry (the U.S. division of Campus for Christ International)

Tony Yu has been doing street evangelism since 2009.  As a Christian, he had always gravitated toward finding objective reasons for believing the Christian faith.  After reading the book, One Thing You Can't Do in Heaven by Mark Cahill, his interest in apologetics blossomed.  In His desire to defend the Christian faith, he eventually studied the apologetics and polemics of Islam.  He believes every Christian has a responsibility to share the Gospel at whatever level he is able.  He loves to travel to different churches to teach evangelism and apologetics.  He has been to multiple cities in Colombia, Ghana West Africa, London UK and Paris France on missions trips and to teach evangelism at various churches.  He is passionate about helping the Church to evangelize and he will travel to yours upon request.

Dr. Daniel Brubaker received his doctorate from Rice (Houston) in 2014 for his dissertation “Intentional Changes in Qurʾān Manuscripts.” He continued his Quran manuscript research since, with further global travels to study and photograph manuscripts in St. Petersburg, Doha, Kuwait, Tashkent, and elsewhere. His Quran manuscript change database became a basis for Qurʾan Gateway, a project he co-founded and that became an official e-resource for students and faculty at Oxford, Cambridge, Notre Dame, and Hebrew University. His first book, Corrections in Early Qurʾān Manuscripts: Twenty Examples, was published in 2019 and quickly drew attention around the world. He has contributed to many publications, including The Quran with Christian Commentary, and three volumes in the German Inârah series. In 2020, Dr. Brubaker began the YouTube channel Variant Quran as a way of introducing his Quran research to a wider audience. 

Dr. Brubaker’s current projects include an edition of an early variant Quran fragment for Brill’s Documenta Coranica series, an update of the Qurʾan Gateway website, and a new online resource called Quranalytic. He is preparing his major academic book, a multi-volume work containing most of his Quran manuscript correction research to date.

Daniel Scot was born and educated in Pakistan. He excelled as a student and in time became a Mathematics Professor in University Colleges in Pakistan. He has been involved in sharing his faith with Muslims since 1965 when he was in junior high school.

It was the active sharing of his faith that resulted in him being the first Christian to be charged under Pakistan’s infamous Blasphemy Law (295C) in September 1986. Daniel was delivered from the life-threatening situation that he found himself in and was able to flee Pakistan, followed by his family two and half years later. 

​In Australia, Daniel saw the need for inter-faith dialogue to eradicate misunderstandings between Christians and Muslims. Since that time Daniel has devoted himself to religious matters - teaching Christians about Islam and Muslims about Christianity & Islam (many Muslims know very little about what really the Qur’an and Hadith teach).

Daniel Scot is the co-directors of Ibrahim Ministries International Inc. (IMI). Ibrahim is the name of Abraham from the Bible, a name that Jews, Christians, and Muslims consider to be pivotal in their respective religions. Daniel has been involved in full-time research and teaching on Islam since 1994 throughout Africa, Australia, America, Asia, and Europe (over fifty nations).  He strongly believes that people ought to live out their faith with a clear understanding of what their faith teaches.

Pastor Wally Magdangal was the pastor of an underground house church in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War. His church grew to be among the largest in Saudi Arabia. Due to the impact he was having on the Muslim world, he became the most wanted person by the religious authorities in Saudi Arabia. After many attempts, Pastor Wally was captured and placed in prison, where he was tortured because of his faith. In the midst of horrendous beatings and circumstances, God continually showed His love and faithfulness to His servant. After experiencing the humiliation of the Supreme Court, he was sentenced to death by hanging on Christmas Day, 1992. This remarkable testimony is a witness of God’s provision and delivering power for a man whose only desire was to bring the Good News of God’s love to one of the least reached nations in the world. ​
