| Summary: | This article situates J. Dudley Woodberry as an exemplar of scholarly evangelical engagement with Islam while suggesting some limitations of his approach for mission today. After a brief sketch of Woodberry’s earliest steps into scholarship, the article locates his contributions to Islamic Studies against the backdrop of developments in the field with specific attention paid to his engagement with lived Islam. It then interacts with responses to Woodberry’s work and reassesses its relevance for Christian mission among Muslims at present. Finally, this article constructively appropriates Woodberry’s ideas to suggest further steps in Christian-Muslim relations through the practice of comparative theology. |
