Books & Curriculum A. C. Rosenthal
The Two Muhammads Curriculum is built around one standard: a Muslim guest in the room would leave feeling their faith was represented accurately and their dignity respected.
Everything below is designed to equip Christians to engage Islam honestly — without contempt, without naivety, and without being caught off guard when the conversation gets serious.

📖 Book One
The Two Muhammads: What History and Manuscripts Reveal About the Islamic Dilemma
What if the Muhammad who appears in the Quran is not identical to the Muhammad who later dominates Islamic tradition? Drawing on Quranic manuscripts, early Islamic sources, and the work of scholars like Patricia Crone, Stephen Shoemaker, and Daniel Brubaker, this book examines one of the most consequential questions in the study of religion — rigorously, fairly, and without polemic.

📖 Book Two
The God They Rejected Isn’t Real: Exposing the False Gods of Modern Doubt
Most people don’t reject the God of Jesus Christ. They reject a caricature — a harsh, petty, distant, unloving deity stitched together from cultural noise, bad religion, and personal wounds.
Drawing from Scripture, history, psychology, and the honest struggles of real people, this book gently dismantles the false images that keep so many at a distance — and reveals the God who actually is:
A Father who runs toward the wounded
A Saviour who enters human suffering
A Healer who sees the hidden heart
A Love strong enough to confront, and gentle enough to restore
If you are a skeptic, a seeker, or someone quietly carrying spiritual wounds — this book was written for you. No pressure. No manipulation. No clichés. Just an invitation.
