Do Christians, Muslims, and Jews Worship the Same God?: Four Views (Counterpoints: Bible and Theology)

Do Christians, Muslims, and Jews Worship the Same God?: Four Views (Counterpoints: Bible and Theology)

During a time of global conflict, the theological question of whether Muslims, Jews, and Christians worship the same God carries political baggage. Is the God of ISIS the same as the God of Israel? Do Sunni Muslims and Protestant Christians pray to the same Creator and Sustainer of the universe?In this Counterpoints volume, edited by Ronnie P. Campbell, Jr., and Christopher Gnanakan, five leading scholars present the main religious perspectives on this question, demonstrating how to think carefully about an issue where opinions differ and confusion abounds. They examine related subtopics such as the difference between God being referentially the same and essentially the same, what "the same" means when referring to God, the significance of the Trinity in this discussion, whether religious inclusivism is inferred by certain understandings of God's sameness, and the appropriateness of interfaith worship.The four main views, along with the scholars presenting them, are:
All Worship the Same God: Religious Pluralist View
All Worship the Same God: Referring to the Same God View
Jews and Christians Worship the Same God: Shared Revelation View
None Worship the Same God: Different Conceptions View
Additionally, essays by Joseph Cumming and David W. Shenk explore the implications of this question specifically for Christians wanting to minister among and build relationships with Muslims. Cumming stresses that finding common ground is key, while Shenk advocates for a respectful focus on differences.Insightful, gracious, and relevant, Do Christians, Muslims, and Jews Worship the Same God? sheds light on one of the most important theological issues of our day.
