Topic
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam each worship the same God, even if they use different names and/or titles for God. For this topic, reflect upon the content of 10-3b (pages 238-239), 11-3a,b,&c (pages 271-276), and 12-3a (306-307) in the textbook regarding the different names, characteristics, and/or titles for God that are expressed in each faith. Share something interesting you found in each religion’s reading, such as a unique name, characteristic, or title that caught your attention. Do you think the diverse names, characteristics, and titles ascribed to God in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam contribute to a richer and more nuanced understanding of the divine, or do they create potential points of divergence and misunderstanding among these faiths? Explain. Provide one (1) textbook quote from any of the assigned textbook readings to support any part of your conversation. Follow these steps:
Part 1 – Post
🔸 Read 10-3b (pages 238-239), 11-3a,b,&c (pages 271-276), and 12-3a (306-307) in the textbook, noting the different characteristics, names, and/or titles associated with God in each religion.
🔸 Begin your post by share something you found interesting in each religion’s reading. This could be a unique name, characteristic, or title; or maybe even some personal connection you have with the content. Then, address whether you think the diverse names, characteristics, and titles ascribed to God in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam contribute to a richer and more nuanced understanding of the divine, or if you think they create potential points of divergence and misunderstanding among these faiths. Be sure to explain your reasoning.
🔸 Support your conversation with one (1) quote from the textbook readings of 10-3b (pages 238-239), 11-3a,b,&c (pages 271-276), and 12-3a (306-307). No more than one (1) quote can be used, and no other source material can be quoted on this assignment. Be sure to explain the connection of the quote to the material around it. This quote can be no more than 10% of the post content. Remember to use quotation marks around quoted material and provide the appropriate textbook page number reference.
🔸 Title your initial thread in a way that reflects the content of your post (a creative yet respectful title to attract attention and to provide a hint regarding the content). Remember, the words “Middle East” and “Discussion” should not appear anywhere in the title.
🔸 This conversation is to be at least 300 words of content. You are not required to consult any other sources; however, if you do, provide MLA (Modern Language Association) format research source citations for those materials at the end of your post: MLA Citations.
I have provided a copy of the chapters for this assignment if you need it. If
