On this episode of the Bellator Christi Podcast, Dr. Brian Chilton is joined by Dr. Sherene Khouri as she discusses her latest book Triune Relationality: A Trinitarian Response to Islamic Monotheism.
1) Congratulations on your latest book, Dr. Khouri. As we begin, could you explain what you mean by "triune relationality"?
2) Your book covers some Islamic theological territory that most of our readers will likely have never heard before. Let's look into some of these areas. What was considered to be the "Golden Age of Islam"?
3) Who were the Abbasids and what did they teach?
4) Could you explain iconoclasm and how it impacted Islamic theologians of the period, especially concerning their view of the Trinity?
5) What were some of the best responses that Christian theologians offered to the Islamic objections to the Trinity throughout the history of the church?
6) What did John of Damascus say about the interrelationality of the Trinity?
7) To wrap things up, why is the Trinity the best way to understand the relational characteristics of God?
8) Lastly, what do you hope your readers will take from this book?
