Thus, on one hand, we find that dogmatic monotheism proclaims God to be the one true God among many false deities. On this level “the true, authentic God, teaches the Old Testament, is always just the unique, he who is unique”. Hence, the plurality of false deities stands opposed to the one true God. On the other hand, if we understand philosophically the notion of God, we cannot but conclude that all representations of God are manifestations of the same reality. This, follows because the…

The three Abrahamic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam ¬¬¬– all have one thing in common, the nature of monotheism. Judaism innovated the idea of one God about 3000 years ago, with the Israelites. Though it was restricted to the people of Israel, this was the first time a monotheistic religion came into play. Worshipping the same God of Israel, Christians were the second monotheistic believers. The teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth were next to become revolutionary. As the Son, he…

The Aten interrelates closely with some of the modern world’s most popular monotheistic religions. Damen (Akhenaten and Monotheism, 2013) agrees with his approach, maintaining that “Hebrews came into contact with the aten and from that caught the monotheism bug, or even heard about the belief in only one god.” This suggests that Akhenaten’s religion circulated to nearby regions, influencing their religions whilst they were creating their…

Akhenaten was raised in the court of his father, and as such was constantly exposed to and heavily influenced by Amenhotep’s progression towards a…
