Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world and the single biggest challenge facing the West today. Actively proselytising, its truth claims contradict Christianity, the foundation of Western culture, almost point for point. Yet, despite this, serious engagement with them can be hard to find outside of academic literature and the heat of online debate culture. Many people therefore do not even know where to start.

Prophets and Pretensions fills that gap. In a clear, easy-to-read fashion, it presents a systematic, evidence-based examination of Islam's foundational beliefs: the reliability of its historical sources, the status of Muhammad, the real story of the Qur'an's supposed perfect preservation and divine inimitability, Islam's relationship to the Bible, and the diverse array of theological claims that rest on these.

Drawing on both mainstream secular scholarship and Islam's own primary sources, it asks a simple question: do Islam's truth claims hold up to scrutiny?
