Frontmatter -- Table Of Contents -- Series Foreword. Exploring The House Of Islam: Perceptions Of Islam In The Period Of Western Ascendancy 1800-1945 -- W. R. W. Stephens, Christianity And Islam -- Preface -- Contents -- Lecture I. The Origin Of Christianity And Of Mohammedanism. Sketch Of The Life And Character Of Mahomet -- Lecture II. The Theology Of The Bible And That Of The Koran Contrasted -- Lecture III. Moral Teaching Of The Bible And The Koran Contrasted -- Lecture IV. The Practical Results Of Christianity And Islam
Summary: Based on lectures delivered in Chichester Cathedral, this book mirrors typical nineteenth century English attitudes toward the non-European space. This needed Christianity and European political oversight, or its people would remain backward and spiritually lost. The book shows how someone whose inclinations were liberal could look at Islam and dislike what he saw. On the other hand, the book also shows that a non-specialist scholar in the second half of the nineteenth century could write seriously if not impartially about Islam using material available in European languages. This suggests that Islam was a subject of increasing interest in Victorian England.
