The Concept of God Across Religions: From Monotheism to Polytheism

By: Carl, Charles C.

THE CONCEPT OF GOD ACROSS RELIGIONS
FROM MONOTHEISM TO POLYTHEISM

What does "God" mean in different faiths? The Concept of God Across Religions explores how humanity has understood the divine-from the one all-powerful Creator of monotheistic traditions to the rich pantheons of gods and goddesses in polytheistic beliefs. This book takes readers on a journey through the world's major religions, uncovering how each envisions the nature, role, and presence of the divine in human life.

Through a clear and comparative approach, the book examines how Judaism, Christianity, and Islam define a singular, omnipotent God, and how Hinduism, ancient Greek and Egyptian faiths, and indigenous traditions embrace a diversity of deities representing cosmic principles, virtues, and forces of nature. It also delves into philosophical questions-whether God is personal or impersonal, transcendent or immanent, and how divine unity or plurality shapes moral and cultural systems.

Readers will also explore the evolution of monotheism and polytheism throughout history, the rise of pantheism and deism, and how modern thinkers bridge ancient beliefs with contemporary spirituality. From the Hebrew YHWH and the Islamic Allah to the Hindu Brahman and the gods of Mount Olympus, this book offers a thoughtful overview of how civilizations have envisioned the ultimate reality.

Perfect for students, seekers, and anyone curious about comparative religion, The Concept of God Across Religions invites readers to reflect on the many ways people across cultures and centuries have sought to understand the divine mystery at the heart of existence.
