Book Review: Three Revolutions in Islam

With Inside the Revolution Joel Rosenberg brings the color and excitement of his best-selling novels to a scholarly analysis of the Global War on Terror (now called “overseas contingency operations”). He describes, from an Evangelical perspective, how the world is not so much consumed by a “Clash of Civilizations” as it is affected by clashing movements within the Muslim world. For Joel, Osama Bin Laden, Thomas Jefferson, and Jesus Christ are icons representing the three competing revolutionary ideologies. Joel’s work captures the situation’s complexity and gravity better than any other work in print today.
