Dr Jerald F. Dirks was once a devoted Christian minister and respected Bible scholar holding degrees from Harvard and a doctorate in psychology before embarking on a profound spiritual quest. His life seemed destined for ministry and academic theology, but years of deep study into Christian scripture, historical creeds, and comparative religion began to stir questions that logic alone could not silence. What started as a scholarly curiosity became an emotional and spiritual journey toward truth. During a life-changing trip to the Middle East in 1993, Dr Dirks experienced a moment of clarity that forever changed his path. When asked in Arabic, “Are you Muslim?” he instinctively replied, “Yes.” That simple word marked not a sudden conversion, but the culmination of years of inner struggle, reflection, and discovery. His heart found peace in Islam, where he recognised the continuation and completion of the message of earlier prophets. Since embracing Islam, Dr. Jerald Dirks has become a powerful voice in interfaith dialogue and Islamic education. As the author of The Cross and the Crescent and several other acclaimed works, he continues to inspire millions with his story of faith, reason, and courage. His transformation from Bible professor to Muslim stands as a moving testament to the power of truth, sincerity, and the unending human search for God. #JeraldDirks #BibleProfessor #JourneyToIslam #ChristianToMuslim
