What is an essay topic "GOD IS ONE; PATHS ARE DIFFERENT" ?

You might want to ask your instructor if you could argue
against the "God is one" part of the topic. There are religions that would not agree
with that statement. You could use your essay to discuss Hinduism with its multitude of
gods and goddesses that are different manifestations of the divine, among other
polytheistic faiths.


Alternatively, you could focus your
essay on the "paths are different" part of your quote. Take your pick of religious
faiths from around the world and compare the beliefs regarding God and how to achieve a
close relationship with God in each of those faiths. The three most recognizable faiths
built on the belief that "God is one" are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - you will
find many commonalities among the three, but there will be
differences.
