Is Islam a purer monotheism than Christianity?

The question behind this study

Tawhid is simple and pure, while incarnation and Trinity compromise God’s oneness and transcendence.

Editorial summary of a question or objection; not an attributed quotation or a view held by every critic.

Raw answer

The direct Christian answer

Christianity is fully monotheistic: one indivisible divine being. Trinity does not multiply gods; it describes the eternal personal life of the one God. Incarnation does not turn God into a creature or exhaust God’s being; the Son assumes a human nature while remaining divine. Simplicity may be attractive, but the decisive question is which understanding God has revealed in history and Scripture.

Core conclusions

Christianity confesses one God, not a divine committee.
Trinitarian distinctions are eternal, not created partners.
Incarnation is assumption of humanity, not conversion of deity.
Simplicity alone is not a truth test.

Bring it back to Christ

The triune God’s love is not an abstraction: the Father sends the Son and gives the Spirit so estranged people can know God, not merely know about him.
