Do Christians, Jews, and Muslims Worship the Same God?
About this episode
This episode explores the concept of God from ancient philosophy to modern interpretations, focusing on differences in understanding among Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
What do we mean when we say "God"? This week’s episode is part 2 of tracing the concept from ancient pagan philosophy through Plato and Aristotle to uncover how modern assumptions about God emerged—and why many of them are far from obvious. This sets the stage for exploring deeper East–West differences in how God, goodness, and divine knowledge are understood. Part 1 is recapped in the first 10 minutes.
