Muslim and Christian scholars examine scripture texts and theological reflections from both traditions, showing that the oneness of God is taken as axiomatic in both, and that affirming God's unity has raised complex theological questions for both. The two faiths are not identical, but what divides them is not the number of gods they believe in.
