What is Christian Missions and Muslims about?

## Abstract While noting the wide scope of the topic of Christian missions and Muslims, this chapter focuses on the historical and missiological aspects of the subject, mainly through the lens of Africa, while drawing attention to other significant patterns of encounter across the world. The central thesis of the chapter is that although early modern missionary engagement with Muslims was shaped by Christians from Western Europe and North America, contemporary Christian–Muslim encounters in the Global South reflect interactions between local peoples and their shared sense of ethnic and religious identities and mission. On the Western front, the Danish Lutheran Folkekirkens’ engagement with asylum seekers illustrates how Christian mission among Muslims has evolved into an engagement with immigrant communities often through charitable intervention of Christian institutions. In the end, it is observed that shades of Christian missionary ethos still intersect with the lived experience of different contemporary Muslim communities.
