Abstract

This study delves into the multifaceted concept of God as portrayed in Scientology, Islam, and Christianity, offering a comparative analysis of their theological frameworks. While Scientology emerged as a modern religious movement, Islam and Christianity have deep historical roots. The analysis examines their scriptures, theological doctrines, and teachings to elucidate the nature, attributes, and roles ascribed to God within each belief system. Key aspects such as monotheism, divine attributes, cosmology, and human-divine relationship are scrutinized to highlight similarities and divergences. The research employs a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from religious studies, theology, and sociological perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of these faiths. Through this comparative exploration, the study aims to foster interfaith dialogue, promote tolerance, and deepen scholarly insights into the diverse conceptions of the divine across different religious traditions.
