Abstract

The review is presented as a response to the book by professor G.S. Sablukov “Comparing the Muslim Teaching about the Names of God with the Christian Teaching about Them”, republished by Faris O. Nofal in 2024. The review outlines and analyzes the transcendental principles go­verning the idea of prof. Sablukov “comparison” Christian and Muslim onomatological paradigms. I show you how prof. Sablukov combines scientific, theological, and preaching initiatives in an ef­fort to resolve simultaneously a series of far-flung problems that have apparently not been resolved so far. These include: mutual misunderstanding of Christians and Muslims (especially on the part of the latter) on fundamental theological issues; the differentiation of Revelations; the creation of a special language of preaching understandable to Muslims. I propose a number of theological questions to the work of prof. Sablukov, namely, to his theological positioning, from which the features of his “learned sermon” follow. Tactical and strategic arguments addressed by Sablukov to the Muslim Ummah are also noted. I conclude that the book is extremely useful be­cause it works with theological and educational subjects that have retained their sharpness and relevance to the present day – these subjects need close and creative attention from the russian academy.
