Christianity, Islam, and the One True God (Hardback)
Every person of faith wants to have peace with God. But how can we be sure that our chosen religion, rather than the religion of millions of others, is the right way? This question highlights why interfaith dialogue is a critically important subject and why author Steven Colborne - with his background as an evangelical Christian - was motivated to write this full-length book comparing and contrasting the religions of Christianity and Islam.
Colborne has been posting regularly on his Perfect Chaos philosophical theology blog for over 10 years, and his articles on the blog exploring interfaith matters, written between 2020 and 2022, form the basis of the 40 chapters that comprise Christianity, Islam, and the One True God.
Some of the key themes of the book include the following:
- The nature and attributes of God
- The Bible and the Qur’an
- The person and nature of Jesus Christ
- The concept of the Trinity
- New Testament textual criticism
- The hadith literature in Islam
- The alleged crucifixion of Jesus Christ
- Religious conflict
- The Day of Judgement
- Divine justice
…as well as philosophical reflections on many other related subjects.
Despite the fact that Judaism isn’t mentioned in the book’s title, many of the articles that comprise the book are relevant to Jewish theology. The book will appeal to adherents of all three of the major Abrahamic religions, as well as to people from any other faith background.
In an age of widespread scepticism concerning matters of faith, Steven Colborne has produced a groundbreaking book, written in clear and accessible language, that will provoke readers to think deeply and differently about interfaith dialogue and all the fundamental questions surrounding our existence. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, or spirituality.
