We’re saddened to learn that Nabeel Qureshi, an active figure in Christian apologetics, has passed away after battle with cancer. Qureshi, who converted to Christianity from Islam, became a leading voice in Christian apologetics with books like Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus and No God but One: Allah or Jesus? He worked not only to introduce Muslims to the Gospel, but to help Christians better understand and love their Muslim neighbors.

We interviewed Qureshi twice, inviting him to talk about his two books. In those interviews, you’ll see his Qureshi’s approach to apologetics and his passion for evangelism. You can read them here:

• Interview: Nabeel Qureshi, author of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus

For a moving tribute to Qureshi’s life and ministry, see this Washington Post article by Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias.

With Qureshi’s passing, the modern church has lost a powerful voice. We’re grateful for the intellectual rigor he brought to the work of evangelism, and we pray that his example will inspire others to carry on with his mission.
