God’s covenant with Abraham is a foundational theme in the Bible. Yet the unconditional chosenness of the Israelites makes the covenant rather ambiguous and inconsistent with other teachings about God in the same book. Free from the ethnocentricity of the Bible, the Qur’an presents a clear, consistent, and far more convincing account of the Abrahamic covenant.

America’s entrenched self-image as a chosen, exceptional, redeemer nation is borrowed from the Hebrew Bible, having been modelled on the history of the Israelites. American exceptionalism has been the main driving force behind the creation of Israel in Palestine. America sees Israel as a confirmation of its own self-identity.

The God of the Qur’an, Allah, is the one God of everyone and everything. He is equally the Lord of all. His Lordship is inclusive of everything, and the servanthood to Him is inclusive of everyone and everything. On the other hand, the God of the Old Testament is exclusive to the Israelites. He is specifically identified with them, as opposed to other peoples. The post The Qur’an’s Universal God and the Hebrew Bible’s Ethnocentric God appeared first on Louay Fatoohi's Blog ..read more
