| Summary: | In recent decades, the phenomenon of insider movements has emerged as a significant component of Christian ministry to Muslims especially. Insider movements are complex, controversial, and the subject of much academic debate. Most of the scholars writing on insider movements do not come from a Muslim background. While they have added much to the academic discussion, it is also important to hear from scholars and practitioners who themselves come from a Muslim background. They are living as Christ-followers, often in Muslim contexts, and are wrestling with and forming their own opinions of insider movements, even as they seek to theologically evaluate them with scriptural truth. This paper explores the perspectives of several Muslim background believers in Christ regarding insider movements and is based on an examination of their published writings and interviews. It highlights and summarizes a portion of those writings, reveals a diversity of perspectives on the subject, and seeks to represent the voices and varied opinions of the authors about insider movements. |
