*’monotheism’ has been defined as the “belief in the existence of 1 ‘god’ or in the ‘1-ness’ of ‘god’*
.
(the oxford dictionary of the christian church gives a more restricted definition: “belief in one personal and transcendent god”, as opposed to polytheism and ‘pantheism’)
(a distinction may be made between exclusive monotheism, and both inclusive monotheism and pluriform (panentheistic) monotheism which, while recognising many distinct gods, postulate some underlying unity)
(‘monotheism’ is distinguished from ‘henotheism’, a religious system in which the believer worships one god without denying that others may worship different gods with equal validity, and ‘monolatrism’, the recognition of the existence of many gods but with the consistent worship of only 1 ‘deity’)
