[vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”An estimated 20,000 Muslim immigrants to Europe have come to Christ since the beginning of 2015. That\u2019s the conclusion drawn by Dr. Duane Alexander Miller, associate professor at the Protestant Faculty of Theology at Madrid (UEBE). Dr. Miller wrote a journal article about Muslim conversion to Christianity on a global scale that will be released in Korean at a press conference on November 29, at which Dr. Miller will summarize his findings and be available to reporters for questions.” font_container=”tag:p|font_size:1.2em|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Noto%20Sans%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” el_class=”headline”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row overlay_dotted=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the heat of debates\u00a0regarding Muslim\u00a0immigration to Korea, it was sometimes contended that Europe gives a picture of what Korea would one day be like: a country of Muslims impervious to the gospel,\u201d<\/p>\n

Voice of the Martyrs representative Hyun Sook Foley explains.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cHowever, Dr. Miller\u2019s research shows that\u00a0Muslim immigrants to Europe are receiving Christ at a much higher rate than popular opinion typically portrays.\u00a0Furthermore, this is a pattern which can be seen around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Miller is a much sought-after researcher and speaker about Christianity in the Middle East. The founding academic dean of Nazareth Evangelical Theological Seminary (NETS), Dr. Miller has experience with Christians in the Middle East and has spent years studying the increasing number of Muslims\u00a0converting to Christianity. However, Dr. Miller is best known for his research about the rate of Muslim conversion in Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is no secret that the influx of refugees and immigrants from the Muslim world to Europe has caused a number of social difficulties and political problems,\u201d\u00a0says Dr. Miller,\u00a0whose article was originally published in English in\u00a0the 2015\u00a0Interdisciplinary Journal of Research on Religion<\/i>.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cBut, there\u2019s another side to this story which is unknown to many: significant numbers of these immigrants\u2014from countries like Iran, Afghanistan, and Morocco\u2014are hearing the Christian message and believing in it. Churches and ministries worshipping in Farsi and Arabic are springing up throughout the continent for the\u00a0thousands of people who have converted in the last few years.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Monday, December 3 Voice of the Martyrs will be celebrating the opening of their new\u00a0Jeongneung\u00a0building by hosting a public event led by Dr. Miller. During this event, Dr. Miller will share his experience with and findings about Muslim converts to Christianity\u2014in and outside of the Middle East.<\/p>\n

A press conference will be held at the new Voice of the Martyrs\u00a0Jeongneung\u00a0office on November 29 at 10:30 AM to introduce Dr. Miller and enable reporters to interview him. At the press conference, Voice of the Martyrs Korea will be\u00a0releasing to reporters the full text of\u00a0the Korean translation of\u00a0a\u00a0journal\u00a0article written by Dr. Miller. Pre-registration for the press conference by phone or e-mail is required.\u00a0[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1542688873622{border-bottom-width: 0px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]The Rev. Dr. Duane Alexander Miller is associate professor at the Protestant Faculty of Theology at Madrid (UEBE) and serves as priest at the Anglican Cathedral of the Redeemer in Madrid.<\/p>\n

His doctoral research was on the contextual theologies proposed by Christian converts from Islam\u2013what do they claim to know about God, and what attracted them to the Christian faith? The thesis was published in 2016 as\u00a0Living among the Breakage: Contextual Theology-making and ex-Muslim Christians (Pickwick).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row overlay_dotted=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]After studying Arabic, the Millers moved to Nazareth of Galilee where he was the founding academic dean of Nazareth Evangelical Theological Seminary (NETS). He also served as lecturer in church history and theology for the seminary. (In 2015 NETS and a local bible college merged to form Nazareth Evangelical College.) Duane has also taught at the University of Texas at San Antonio, the University of Edinburgh, and St Mary\u2019s University (in San Antonio).<\/p>\n

Dr. Miller has published numerous articles and chapters on the topics of Christian converts from Islam, the history of Protestant missions in Ottoman Palestine, and contemporary evangelicalism in the Middle East. He is co-author of\u00a0Arab Evangelicals in Israel<\/i>\u00a0(Pickwick, 2016) author of\u00a0Two Stories of Everything: The Competing Metanarratives of Islam and Christianity<\/i>\u00a0(Credo House, 2018), which seeks to understand the two faiths not as alternative religions, but as accounts of the entirety of history, from Creation to the final\u00a0judgment.<\/p>\n

Dr. Miller travels broadly for teaching, training and research. He and Sharon were married in 2003 and have three young children.\u00a0[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
