Episode Topic: The One God in Islam and Christianity

Christians and Muslims believe in a God who created the universe, who loves them, and guides them. Yet there are significant differences in their vision of God. Is it coherent, then, to say that they believe in the same God? What is distinct about each faith’s vision of God’s relationship to humanity? In week three of the “The Church and Islam” we explore these questions, and ask how the Church might carry out its mission to proclaim the Gospel while also embracing religious dialogue.

Featured Speakers: 

• Nayla Tabbara, President of Adyan Foundation for Diversity, Solidarity and Human Dignity
• Gabriel Said Reynolds, Jerome J. Crowley and Rosaleen G. Crowley Professor of Islamic Studies and Theology, University of Notre Dame; Author of Qur’an and the Bible and Allah: God in the Qur’an
