Monotheistische Denkfiguren in der Spätantike

Zusatztext

For a long time, monotheistic concepts of God have dominated the understanding of religion in a Europe shaped by Christianity. For the early Christians, the monotheistic concept of God, which was adopted from Judaism, was an elementary part of their self-image. Not always taken into account was the fact that monotheistic trends were also noticed in ancient polytheistic culture, trends that are discussed as "pagan monotheism". The articles in this volume analyze monotheistic concepts, arguments and models using authors from late antiquity as examples. The authors deal with significant aspects of monotheistic thinking in which the development of complex ancient monotheism is expressed in Christian and in "pagan" texts as well.
