Not the Same God

Not the Same God challenges a familiar assumption. That Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are three paths to the same God.

They are not.

Author Audelia N. Rinot argues that these traditions produced different gods, shaped by different histories, pressures, and goals. Yahweh, the Father, and Allah are not alternate names for a single being. They are rivals. Each claims to be the only one.

Drawing on history rather than theology, Not the Same God examines religion as a competitive system operating within the Economy of Belief. The struggle did not end in antiquity. It continues wherever belief insists on unity.

Witty, unsentimental, and grounded in historical narrative, this book reframes monotheism not as a shared inheritance, but as a long and unfinished contest over who gets to be called the One.
