Episode 272: Islamic Tawhid Vs the Christian Trinity with Dr. Imad Shehadeh [Part 1]

33 minutes

God is doing a work in the Middle East. This week and next on the Profile we talk with the founder and president of Jordan Evangelical Theological Seminary in Aman, Jordan Dr. Imad Shehadeh. The seminary, established in the early 1990s, presently trains and equips Christians, many who are former Muslims, to pastor churches and serve in Christian ministry throughout the Middle East and the world. Dr. Shehadeh shares with us his insights and experience in engaging Muslims with the truth of the Christian faith. We discuss his 2020 two-volume publication God With Us and Without Us - The Beauty and Power of Oneness in Trinity versus Absolute Oneness. It is a comprehensive survey about the differences between the Christian doctrine of the Trinity and the Islamic doctrine of Tawhid, or absolute oneness.

Dr. Imad Shehadeh is President and Senior Professor of Theology at Jordan Evangelical Theological Seminary, Amman, Jordan, which he founded in 1991. Dr Shehadeh earned his PhD from Dallas Theological Seminary, Texas, and has carried out post-doctoral studies at the Evangelische Theologische Faculteit, Leuven, Belgium, and the University of Edinburgh, UK. He has a wide-ranging preaching and teaching ministry including online and television series, and speaking at churches, seminaries and conferences. Dr Shehadeh has written a number of articles and books published in both English and Arabic.
