Ninety-nine names of God


Westminster Cathedral

This is Westminster Cathedral, the venue for the performance of a new piece of music by John Taverner, based on Islamic teaching.

This is surely not the place for it? The name of the Christian God is Jesus. In Hebrew, this is Yehoshua, meaning "He will save". And the Christian God is Trinitarian - Father, Son and Holy Sprit. Like this.

Which means that God is not a remote and purely spiritual entity but engages in the ordinary physical world we inhabit, and pays the price of that engagement.
