ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses some arguments relating to theology of religions and its connection with comparative theology. It reviews some of the important issues relating to a possible alternative Islamic theology of religions. The chapter expresses that Islamic theology of religions needs to engage at a deeper level with non-Islamic religions' teachings and texts to offer a comprehensible theology which will do justice to the similarities and differences of diverse religions. It focuses on the nature of God and revelation in Islam and Christianity to explore the similarities and differences between the two traditions in these areas. Christian comparative theologians have offered comparative theology as an alternative to theology of religions since they believe that comparative theology will lead to more effective dialogue than a theology of religions. The purpose of revelation in Islam is one and the same: to remind people of the Creator and establish a relationship between God and the people.
