Evangelical leaders have recognized an urgent need for equipping Christians to better share the gospel with Muslims. This project offers one answer to their call and addresses the question: What should constitute a highly effective contextualized curriculum to teach a biblical understanding of Islam and Muslim evangelization to students at Bethel College in Hampton, Virginia? This dissertation describes the course, "Contemporary Missions Issues: Islam," as it was developed and taught through the instructional design process known as ADDIE, a project that involved educational and theological pursuits. Thus the curriculum employed teaching techniques that leading educators have identified as maximizing student learning (including using modeling, feedback, and "edutainment") to present a Christian dialogical response to Islam that appeals to general revelation and the God-given spiritual yearnings that all people have. As it sought to prepare its students for real-life conversations with Muslims, practical insights were also gleaned from influential writers concerning careful listening, effective questioning, and relational skills. The course is described in detail, including how its spiral curriculum guided students to (1) understand Islam accurately, (2) compare Islamic and Christian beliefs, and (3) develop ways to contextualize the gospel through biblical emphases better understood by Muslims. Key instructional elements included a non-essentialist view of Islam where there is Muslim disagreement, a focus on building thinking skills along the lines of Bloom's Taxonomy to wisely navigate the convergence and divergence between the two faiths, and an essentialist view on the need for all people to accept Christ by faith to experience salvation. A distinctive was its survey of the opposing hermeneutical approaches Muslims use to interpret the Qur'an, an almost universally neglected, but crucial factor in the current conflict within Islam. Also, the learning objectives were pursued in a manner that encouraged each student's spiritual formation and an incarnational witness to others. Formative and summative evaluations verified that the curriculum was highly effective in developing Christ-like living in its students while equipping them to share the gospel more effectively with Muslims. Finally, though written primarily for a missiological purpose, the dissertation offers valuable insights applicable to any instructional endeavor.
