Models & Methodologies

“Mazhar’s life and ministry, and therefore this book, does not offer a methodology. As Mazhar has observed over the years, the nature of Western Christianity is often to look for models, methods, and strategies that can be duplicated. In the realm of faith and spirituality however, this is not the way things work, as God works differently in each local context… There is a sense that even [Mazhar] does not have a methodology. Rather, his approach has been instinctive, as opposed to being fully thought through. Because he is ‘one-of-a-kind’ we could never be completely like him and accomplish what he does… This book highlights some principles, ideas, and lessons about the interactions between Christians and Muslims from which we can learn and apply to our own life contexts.” P.8

Good to remember. Also good to consider the difference between a methodology and principle we can apply in our life contexts.
