During a time of global conflict, the theological question of
whether Muslims, Jews, and Christians worship the same God carries
political baggage. Is the God of ISIS the same as the God of
Israel? Do Sunni Muslims and Protestant Christians pray to the same
Creator and Sustainer of the universe? In this Counterpoints
volume, edited by Ronnie P. Campbell, Jr., and Christopher
Gnanakan, five leading scholars present the main religious
perspectives on this question, demonstrating how to think carefully
about an issue where opinions differ and confusion abounds. They
examine related subtopics such as the difference between God being
referentially the same and essentially the same, what "the same"
means when referring to God, the significance of the Trinity in
this discussion, whether religious inclusivism is inferred by
certain understandings of God's sameness, and the appropriateness
of interfaith worship. The four main views, along with the scholars
presenting them, are: All Worship the Same God: Religious Pluralist
View (Wm. Andrew Schwartz and John B. Cobb, Jr.) All Worship the
Same God: Referring to the Same God View (Francis J. Beckwith) Jews
and Christians Worship the Same God: Shared Revelation View (Gerald
R. McDermott) None Worship the Same God: Different Conceptions View
(Jerry L. Walls) Additionally, essays by Joseph Cumming and David
W. Shenk explore the implications of this question specifically for
Christians wanting to minister among and build relationships with
Muslims. Cumming stresses that finding common ground is key, while
Shenk advocates for a respectful focus on differences. Insightful,
gracious, and relevant, Do Christians, Muslims, and Jews Worship
the Same God? sheds light on one of the most important theological
issues of our day.
My father, Francis Gary Powers, was a CIA U-2 pilot who was shot
down in the midst of the Cold War, on May 1, 1960, while flying in
Soviet airspace. After his capture, he was tried for espionage and
then served nearly two years in a Soviet prison until his eventual
release in exchange for Soviet Colonel Rudolf Abel, a senior KGB
spy who was caught in the United States in the late 1950s. The two
operatives were brought to separate sides of the Glienicker Bridge
in Potsdam, Germany, as depicted in Steven Spielberg's motion
picture Bridge of Spies, where the exchange took place. While in
prison my father kept a personal journal and was allowed to write
and receive personal correspondence. In this book are the
never-before published journal of my father's thoughts as a
Prisoner of War, along with more than 150 personal letters written
and received by my father during his captivity.
