Given the recent intensifying political situation in the Middle East and central Asia, given the theological and philosophical challenges of religious pluralism and fundamentalism, and given what seems to be a rising consciousness of religious activity and differences in the world, this is an important question. This paper will attempt to provide one approach to the question.

First, proofs of God have been severely critiqued over the centuries. Second, the notion of finding a discernable God of biblical witness within creation alone has proved challenging. Pannenberg adds to this critique with his own concern that the biblical texts should not be turned into "documents with supernatural authority" 2 but as important historical data. Instead of starting with God's unity, Pannenberg reverses the traditional approach and starts with the revelation of the Trinity of God and then argues for the unity of God.

According to Pannenberg, it was easier to show the distinctions between the three persons of the Trinity than to show the unity of God. 1 From that point onward, I have paid attention to how theology might elucidate the unity of God, particularly in light of a quickly growing Islamic world that views God only in the exclusive terms of asserting God's oneness, tawhid. With an interest in showing the intelligibility of a Christian understanding of God's unity, and an interest in the language of science as a medium for interfaith conversation, I was captivated by our classroom discussion on quantum mechanics and specifically the issue of nonseparability or what has been termed: "quantum entanglement."
