Here's what I got, folks:
Mark Gabriel is not his original name - he changed it after leaving Egypt. He has a bachelors, masters and PhD in Islamic History and Culture from Al-Azhar. After leaving Egypt, he did some work with a Christian organization in Capetown, Africa. He got a Masters in World Religion from the Florida Christian University in Orlando in 2001, and a PhD in Christian Education, also from FCU, in 2002. He was inducted as a fellow, Oxford Society of Scholars, in September 2003.
Sounds pretty well-qualified to me. : )

He sounds like an interesting man. I wonder if he does lectures somewhere. I've heard of him before so it's good to hear that someone read one of his books. Thanks for the additional information.
ReplyDeleteNo problem!
ReplyDeleteI came across a YouTube interview with him. The site where I found it does have very negative views of Islam, but here are the videos:

But, you know, anyone will use whatever they can to further their mission. A website with "no likey Islam" as their thing will certainly add an interview with a "former Muslim of stature" to solidify their argument. : ) I'll check it out. Thanks!
