Whose God is it anyway?<\/p>\n

As a Christian, Dr. Larycia Hawkins thought she was doing what Jesus would do when she posted a photo of herself in December wearing a hijab head covering on Facebook in solidarity with Muslims worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of The Book,\u201d she said in the status. \u201cAnd as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Little did Hawkins know she was setting off a theological firestorm and set the stage for her potential firing by suggesting the religions worship the same God. Officials at the west suburban university suspended her and moved to revoke her tenure to fire her.
\n<\/p>\n

“It taught me that this is what Jesus is about.\u201d
\n-Ahmed Rehab, CAIR Chicago<\/div>\n

While acknowledging religious freedom as a core American principle, college officials said<\/a>, \u201cEqually important is the freedom of religious organizations to embody their deeply held convictions. \u2026 our compassion must be infused with theological clarity.\u201d<\/p>\n

While college officials investigate whether Hawkins\u2019 evolving beliefs conflict with their statement of faith<\/a>, a condition of employment, a larger discussion persists.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheologically, Dr. Hawkins is correct,\u201d when stating that Christians and Muslims worship the same God, according to Denise Spellberg, a history and Middle Eastern studies professor at the University of Texas at Austin. \u201cHowever, from the Christian theological position, there can be no revelation after the New Testament.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Quran details that the God who spoke to the prophets who preceded Muhammad, including Jesus, is the same,\u201d said Spellberg, author of \u201cThomas Jefferson’s Qur’an: Islam and the Founders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spellberg expanded on connections between the Quran, the Bible and the Torah.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Quran explicitly names 24 prophets who preceded Muhammad, detailing how God (Allah) directed each,\u201d Spellberg said. \u201c Because, in Islamic tradition, Jews and Christians received revelation from the same God as Muhammad, they have a special, elevated status as \u201cPeople of the Book.\u201d The Bible and Torah are explicitly named as sources of prior revelation in the Quran.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liqa Affaneh, a hijab-wearing Muslim, said she wasn\u2019t surprised about the college\u2019s response in this, a time of \u201crising Islamophobia in the West.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I heard about it, I was actually not surprised,\u201d said Affaneh, who attended a press conference Jan. 6 at First United Methodist Church downtown to discuss the controversy. Several friends, faculty members, Wheaton alumni and local activists also attended the meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just felt like it was another case of discrimination or act of bigotry in today\u2019s society,\u201d Affaneh said. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s harder being a Muslim woman than being a Muslim man. I am saying that wearing a hijab is more visible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hawkins\u2019 actions actually embody Christian principles, said Ahmed Rehab, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Chicago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never seen an expression that represents what Jesus stands for as I have with Dr. Hawkins,\u201d said Rehab, a Muslim. \u201cAnd that to me did not cause me to wonder whether she was diluting the message of Christianity but rather it taught me that this is what Jesus is about.\u201d<\/p>\n

History shows a path to understanding the larger issues raised by Hawkins. And although Hawkins\u2019 future with Wheaton College is \u201cup in the air,\u201d she\u2019s leaning on her faith.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that Jesus is justice and I will continue to walk in justice for all people,\u201d she said. \u201cI will bless and not curse. That\u2019s what my faith tells me to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rabbi Rachel Mikva at the Chicago Theological Seminary, said she doubts Wheaton College officials would allow faculty to embrace the notion of “same God.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took Christianity four centuries to work out the various notions of the Trinity, through debate and disagreement,\u201d Mikva said. \u201cAlthough orthodox doctrine was established, there were always multiple perspectives \u2014 some tolerated and some declared heretical. This allowed orthodox doctrine to align with the basic theological perspective of New Testament, that God the Father of Jesus Christ their Lord is the One God of Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n

The concept that Christians and Muslims worship “same God” was formally affirmed at Vatican II, and by many \u201cfine\u201d Christian theologians, Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant, said Mikva, director of the seminary\u2019s Center for Jewish, Christian and Islamic Studies.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome Protestant groups emphasize different aspects of the Trinity,” Mikva said, “and struggle more intently with seeing commonality.\u201d<\/p>\n
