For Christ's Sake (Revised Edition),  Part One,
[A5] Paperback - 166 pages,
 by Ahmad Thomson & Muhammad 'Ata 'Ur-Rahim.



Description :


For Christs Sake is the first of two books - the second of the two books being entitled Islam in Andalus - which constitute the revised edition of Blood on the Cross which was originally written between 1977 and 1979 and first published in 1989.


The main purpose of both the original and revised edition has been to explore the history of that extraordinary period during which the Muslims first flourished and then perished in the Iberian peninsula - which used to be called Andalus. This work deals principally with the history of Christianity in Europe, with particular reference to Spain, tracing the movement of the original Unitarian followers of Jesus (Isa 'alayhis salam), from North Africa and the Middle East up into Europe and Spain. 


It goes on to describe the formation and expansion of the Trinitarian Church in Italy and the rest of Europe and outlines the almost total annihilation of the Unitarian Christians at the hands of the Trinitarian Church by means of the Medieval Inquisition. This is useful in understanding how Islam was able to spread so readily and rapidly in Andalus.
