Books by Dr. Anis Shorrosh
Dr. Shorrosh authored more than ten books over the course of his ministry. His writing combined personal testimony, biblical scholarship, and a deep knowledge of Islam — making his works essential reading for Christians seeking to understand the Middle East and engage in faith-based dialogue.
The Liberated Palestinian
Tier 1 — Signature Work
Dr. Shorrosh’s autobiography and most personal book. Born into a Palestinian family in Nazareth and displaced by war, Anis Shorrosh found not bitterness but faith — a faith that took him from refugee camps to pulpits around the world. This is the story of his life, told in his own words: his conversion, his calling, and his unwavering love for the people of the Middle East and the God who redeemed him.
Islam Revealed
Tier 1 — Most Widely Read
Published in 1988, Islam Revealed is Dr. Shorrosh’s most widely circulated work and one of the most referenced Christian examinations of Islam. Drawing on his firsthand experience growing up in the Middle East and decades of interfaith debate, Dr. Shorrosh presents a careful, respectful, and candid look at Islamic teachings — comparing them with the Bible and the life of Jesus Christ. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand Islam from a Christian perspective.
The True Furqan
Tier 1 — Unique Contribution
Originally written in classical Arabic literary style — mirroring the structure and cadence of the Quran — The True Furqan presents the Gospel message in a form accessible to Arabic-speaking Muslim readers. Dr. Shorrosh translated this remarkable work into English, making it available to a global audience. It stands as one of the most creative and bold works of Christian outreach to the Muslim world in the modern era.
Jesus, Prophecy and the Middle East
In this study, Dr. Shorrosh examines the biblical prophecies surrounding Jesus Christ in the context of the Middle East — the land where those prophecies were born and fulfilled. With deep knowledge of both Scripture and regional history, he makes the case that the life of Jesus is not only the fulfillment of ancient prophecy but the answer to the ongoing turmoil of the region.
The Exciting Discovery of the Ark of the Covenant
One of Scripture’s greatest mysteries — where is the Ark of the Covenant? In this investigation, Dr. Shorrosh explores the biblical record, historical accounts, and archaeological evidence surrounding the fate of Israel’s most sacred artifact. With the enthusiasm and curiosity that defined everything he did, Dr. Shorrosh takes the reader on a journey through Scripture and history to examine what may be one of the most significant discoveries of our time.
Islam: A Threat or a Challenge
From Ancient Mecca to Modern Baghdad
Written in the weeks surrounding September 11, 2001 — a moment Dr. Shorrosh had been preparing for — this comprehensive work examines Islam from its origins to its modern global reach. Dr. Shorrosh covers the history and theology of Islam, the rise of radical movements, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the situation in Iraq, and the challenge facing America. Drawing on decades of firsthand experience in the Middle East and his mastery of both the Bible and the Quran, he makes the case that the Christian Gospel — not politics or military force — is the ultimate answer to the challenges Islam presents to the world.
