According to the Christian view, the essence of the triune God is revealed in the relational event between God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The Bible says of this God, “God is love” (1 John 4:8, 16). By way of example, the article explores “God's love” to show that the Qur'an's conception of God is incompatible with key tenets of the New Testament. Thus, when keeping both conceptions of God in view, we cannot speak of one and the same God. Now what does this mean for the pursuit of conciliatory relations between Christians and Muslims? Which relational paradigms need to be kept in mind?

基督的爱是教会信奉穆斯林的基础

根据基督教徒的观点，三位一体神的本质在父神，儿子耶稣基督和圣灵之间的关系事件中得以揭示。圣经对这位神说：“神就是爱”（约翰一书4：8，16）。举例来说，本文探讨了“上帝的爱”，以表明古兰经对上帝的观念与新约的主要宗旨不符。因此，在同时顾及上帝的两种观念时，我们无法谈论同一位上帝。现在，这对于追求基督徒与穆斯林之间的和解关系意味着什么？需要牢记哪些关系范式？
