“If Christianity is anything, it must be everything. It cannot brook a rival, nor cease to wage war against all other faiths, without losing its strength and virtue.”1
Sir Edward Muir (1819-1905), principal of Edinburgh University, staunch supporter of missions, established Muirabad, a Christian village in India.

“The Mindr ul Hakk is a treatise designed to show the evidence in support of Christianity contained in the Koran - a ‘beacon pointing to the faith of the Gospel’… exhibiting the style of dogmatic reasoning and thought prevalent among theologians of the East.” - from the Introduction.

“Sweet First Fruits is a… story primarily designed to give scope and opportunity for presenting to the Muslim reader the proofs of the Christian faith, the purity and genuineness of our Bible, its attestation by the Koran, and the consequent obligation on Muslims to obey its precepts. The argument is developed, in the dialectic style, between a party of Christian converts and their former companions. The Muslim world has never, since the rise of Islam, had an appeal made to it under more favorable circumstances, nor one more likely to ensure respect, if not force conviction. Differing from all former treatises, it contains not one word offensive to the Muslim, beyond the strength and conclusiveness of the reasoning, which, indeed, is mainly drawn from the Koran itself.”
