Do we worship the same God?

Do we worship the same God?

By Miroslav Volf

Book Description

In a world where religious differences often overshadow shared beliefs, one profound question emerges: do Judaism, Christianity, and Islam actually worship the same divine being? This thoughtful exploration brings together leading voices from all three Abrahamic traditions to wrestle with this complex theological puzzle.

Rather than offering simple answers, this collection invites readers into the kind of respectful dialogue that our interconnected world desperately needs. Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scholars approach the central question through both philosophical rigor and the lived experience of worship and prayer. Their conversations illuminate fundamental concepts like the nature of divine oneness, how we can know God, and what "sameness" truly means when applied to the divine.

The contributors don't shy away from real differences between their faiths, including challenging topics like the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. Instead, they demonstrate how honest acknowledgment of distinctions can coexist with recognition of profound commonalities. Each perspective offers unique insights into how practitioners of one monotheistic faith understand and relate to the others.

For readers seeking to deepen their spiritual understanding while engaging thoughtfully with religious diversity, this work provides a model of how interfaith dialogue can be both intellectually serious and genuinely respectful. The result is fresh insight into age-old questions about divine nature and human worship that transcend any single religious tradition.
