Biographies

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The first Muslim in America was reportedly Estevancio of Azamor, a Moroccan guide for a Spanish expedition in 1528 that landed in Florida in 1528. Many African slaves in the United States were Muslim after the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863.

#2 The first Hindus on American soil may have been the six Asian Indians who marched in the annual Fourth of July parade in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1851. The first Buddhists came during the Gold Rush of the mid-1800s, working not only as miners, but also as loggers, fishermen, farmers, and construction workers.

#3 I began teaching world religions in college. I had to learn Atlanta again, because it had changed since I had last been there. I was so surrounded by my own faith that I did not think about how other religions might affect mine.

#4 I had a student who was a Christian, and he was worried about the content of my class. He felt that if I were a Christian, I would help them see what was wrong with the other religions, but I didn’t think that was my job. I remembered how I had felt when I was in college and wanted to dismiss any truth that didn’t hinge on Jesus.
