Naming God: Christian and Muslim Perspectives - Paperback
by Lucinda Mosher (Editor)
A fresh look at how Christians and Muslims speak of God
Naming God entails labeling the ineffable. And yet the Bible itself oscillates between denying that God can be named and describing how God shows Godself anyway.
In Naming God, the result of the 2021 Building Bridges Seminar-an international dialogue of Christian and Muslim scholars-the contributors examine the many ways Christians and Muslims refer to and describe God and the significance of naming God differently. This book provides guidance and materials that will benefit faith leaders as well as students and scholars of theology, dialogue theory, and conflict resolution. Nonspecialists will benefit from an entry-point into the theme of naming God, while specialists will be challenged to develop and deepen their thought on this important topic.
