Unsheathed: Muhammad's Biography--An Accurate Presentation

Have you wanted to read an accurate biography of Muhammad, based on the original sources, and free from bias in favor of Islam?  I commend to you Unsheathed: The Story of Muhammad, by Tara MacArthur (penname to avoid getting killed; click on the book name to download it).  The book is a valuable work that accurate portrays the prophet of Islam's life, based on the earliest sources.  It does not gloss over the troubling and violent aspects of his life, but neither does it say only what is bad while leaving out the positive. There is also a short version of the book, both with pictures and one without pictures.  Finally, there is a well done audio book of UnsheathedWhat do you know about the life of one of the most influential men in history?

Sure, I have something on the prophecies in Daniel here:

faithsaves.net/Daniel/

and Dr. Thomas Strouse has commentaries on both Revelation and Daniel. David Cloud also references older dispensational commentaries, and Robert Thomas has a very scholarly although critical text 2 volume commentary on Revelation.

Hello John Mark,

I have written zero commentaries, but I've preached through Daniel three times and Revelation four or five times.

It would be good to have Thomas Strouse commentaries, since he's written on both books, he's Baptist, dispensational, exegetical, and textus receptus. Helpful to me are E.J. Young on Daniel, Charles Feinberg, and John Walvoord on Daniel. You can always look at Keil and Delitzch online for free. For Revelation, I've used Robert Thomas. His is the best, mainly because he presents every possible view and argues for the correct view and does a good job with his arguments. He's critical text, but it's nice having one book that expresses almost every view in one location, and then argues for a conservative, literal interpretation. We used John Walvoord on Revelation when I took the class in college, but our professor, Dr. Weeks, always corrected Walvoord's critical text problems with, "No, no, no, Mr. Walvoord, not the best texts, the best texts, the best texts."

There it is.

Dr Ross would you mind if I can have your permission to print out your Bible study from faithsaves.net? I would never do anything to defraud or anything like that no money etc and it would be for my own personal use and I always push your site for a means of leading people to help in finding truth and The LORD yours faithsaves.net/salvation and Pastor Brandenburg article on pillarandground.org on salvation are great tools I use to try to spread the word on the social media outlets! Thanks again have a blessed day and week

Maybe anyway I could make a gift to both your ministries to support your internet work let me know how to do that and I would love to try to help a little bit! Sorry for bothering so much

Dear John Mark,

Sure, you can use the studies, may they be a blessing.

Dear John Mark,

If your church thinks it would be appropriate you could send a donation to our church (Mukwonago Baptist Church) designated for our media ministry. We have had some significant expenses for computer and camera equiplment and could use the help.

Dear Sirs Dr Ross and Pastor Brandenburg, sorry to bother you again and not to be off topic but I thought you'd like to see this on the bill gates pushing vaccine and how the technology works almost like the coming world ruler antiChrist system mark of the beast will be in the future! Hope you are doing well your family too May GOD bless you and your family with health love joy peace always in Jesus name amen have a blessed day and week! It's from one of the news sources but to hear how it is completely contrary to the Preserved Words of GOD KJV how they're totally trying to control the population vaccines and sterilization is incredible! The complete contrast! I did purchase a few of the books you mentioned and this one on Muhammed is a great one I'm waiting for the hard copy but I enjoy the pdf as well thanks!

I love The Corbett Report | Bill Gates and the Population Control Grid, let's play it!

Thanks for the comment. I don't have time to read read your link at the moment, but I wanted to say that I thank God for the millions of lives that have been saved by vaccines.
