Christians need to study Judaism as well. A nation of people, the Edomites, utterly condemned by the major writing prophets, ‘became Jews’ just over a century before the birth of Christ. According to Flavius Josephus, the Jewish historian who lived just after the time of Christ, 'They (Edom) were hereafter no other than Jews' (Josephus Antiquities of the Jews, XIII ix 1; XV vii 9). Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘hated Esau (Edom)’, a people ‘against whom he has indignation forever’ (Malachi 1:2-4). Ezekiel refers to Idumea (Edom, also referred to as Mount Seir) as taking possession of the land and heritage of Israel and Judah (Ezekiel 35:10, 11, 15; 36:2, 5). The Herodian dynasty at the time of Christ were Edomites, testifying to the takeover and the word 'Jew' had almost become synonymous with these evil people. Jesus said to the Jews ‘Because you are not sheep of my flock you do not believe’ (John 10:24-27). This explains much.

You might also look for resources from www.crescentproject.org, www.answering-islam.org, and books by the Caner brothers. All good stuff.

Another source of excellent books is from the Barnabas Fund in the UK, with basic books on loving your Muslim neighbour, through to more insightful books on Global Jihad. The author is a Muslim convert who now fights for the rights of Christians and for religious freedom across the world - and no, I don't work for Barnabas LOL!!
