HOLY WARRIORS PB

The story of one couple's personal encounter with the Taliban and one which takes a fresh look at the face of extreme Islam and offers theological reflection on a popularly known but little understood phenomenon. 'I strongly recommend this timely book as a comprehensive, scholarly and sensitive analysis of Islam and the militant idealogy of Islamism'. - Baroness Cox 'For much of the western press, the Taliban were just another fundamentalist regime, renowned for their treatment of women, and their ultra-orthodoxy. They are a group now ingrained on the imagination of the western world.' At Oxford University, Amy met Frog through a group that prayed regularly for the needs and concerns of the churches in Central Asia and China. This shared interest resulted first in a trip to China, and then in 1996, a trip to Afghanistan. Holy Warriors draws on the first-hand experience as it takes a fresh look at the face of extreme Islam and offers theological reflection on a popularly known but little understood phenomenon. Reverend Frog Orr-Ewing is currently the Curate at St. Aldate's Church in Oxford. His wife, Amy is Training Director for the Zacharias Trust, an organisation that seeks to explain the good news about Jesus to sceptical thinkers, especially those who are leaders and cultural influencers.
