THE TRINITY AND TAWHID
UNDERSTANDING CHRISTIAN AND ISLAMIC THEOLOGY
(One God, different interpretations)
For centuries, the doctrines of the Trinity in Christianity and Tawhid in Islam have stood at the heart of both unity and difference between two of the world's major faiths. The Trinity and Tawhid explores how each tradition understands the nature of God, divine oneness, and revelation-offering a clear, balanced, and comparative look at their theological foundations.
This book explains how Christians describe the mystery of one God in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-while Muslims emphasize absolute divine unity with no partners or divisions. Through a careful study of the Bible and the Qur'an, along with insights from early Church Fathers, Islamic scholars, and modern theologians, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for how these concepts developed and why they matter today.
Beyond doctrine, the book explores how these beliefs shape worship, prayer, and the understanding of humanity's relationship with God. It highlights the similarities in devotion, love, and reverence found in both faiths, while also acknowledging the profound differences that define Christian and Islamic theology.
Written in clear and accessible language, The Trinity and Tawhid serves as both an introduction and a bridge for interfaith understanding. Ideal for students, theologians, or curious readers, it invites reflection on how two great traditions express their shared belief in one divine source through distinct, yet deeply meaningful, interpretations.
