My God, Your God

A Wheaton College professor's assertion that Muslims and Christians worship the same god has led to her suspension.

Listeners call in to discuss what Islam, Christianity and Judaism do and don't have in common, and why these intersections matter.

Also here to comment: Karen Armstrong, author of best-selling books on religion including Fields of Blood: Religion and the History of Violence (Knopf, 2014) and founder of the Charter for Compassion.

.@KarenAnchorite says the short answer is yes. "The similarities are extraordinary" and particularly evident in the Koran.

@BrianLehrer I'm Jewish (and agnostic though I think about faith often). I absolutely think our 3 faiths are centered around the same deity.
