This chapter explores the different terms used for God in Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traditions. It discusses the meanings and connotations of terms like 'God', 'Lord', 'Yahweh', 'Jehovah', 'Elohim', and 'Allah', highlighting how these terms are describing words rather than proper names for God. The chapter also delves into the contrasting views of Christians, Jews, and Muslims regarding Jesus and the concept of atonement for sins.
With a small gesture of good will toward Syrian refugees, one woman incurred the wrath of evangelical Christians on social media. The resulting chaos helped write the next chapter in a thousand year-old controversy concerning Christianity, Islam, their shared origins, and the nature of God. Guest voices include Larycia Hawkins, Michael Mangis, Karly Bothman, Paul Griffiths, and Amir Hussain.
