What it's about

Gairdner’s *The Reproach of Islam* (1909, revised later) is a Christian missionary critique of Islam and its expansion, origins, doctrines, and present condition in the early 20th century. He examines where Islam came from, how it spread, what it teaches, and how it operates socially and spiritually. Gairdner contrasts Islamic beliefs with Christian theology and argues for the need to “save” Muslims — not merely through past efforts but through contemporary evangelism and Christian witness. The book reflects colonial‑era missionary perspectives, intending to persuade Christians of Islam’s deficiencies while urging missionary engagement.
