This post was prompted by Simply Orthodox’s post and article linked therein, and by CSLewis.
The relatively recent assertions by Catholic leaders that the Abrahamic faiths all worship the same God does has apparently caused consternation among some of our Orthodox brethren. Indeed, I share some of their concern that the ‘Allah’ of Islam, portrayed as he is in particular in...
