Religia faraona Echnatona (XIV w. przed Chr.) – atonizm – budzi ogromne zainteresowanie wśród badaczy. Głównym tego powodem jest jej podobieństwo do jahwizmu. Zauważone analogie dały podstawę do ...przypuszczenia, że religia Amarny mogła mieć wpływ na rozwój jahwizmu. Jednakże znawcy tematu są w tej kwestii bardzo podzieleni i pomimo licznych publikacji problem pozostaje ciągle nierozstrzygnięty. Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia główne zagadnienia dotyczące zarówno postaci Echnatona, jak i te, które w sposób szczególny charakteryzują atonizm w odniesieniu do religii Hebrajczyków. Mając na uwadze wyraźne analogie pomiędzy obu religiami oraz ich zbieżność czasowo-geograficzną, autor wyraża opinię, iż atonizm mógł znacznie wpłynąć na rozwój późniejszego jahwizmu.
This doctoral thesis concentrates exclusively on the Historiae adversus paganos, an apologetic history in seven books written by the presbyter Paulus Orosius in the early fifth century AD. This ...thesis is ultimately an exposition of Orosius's philosophy of history, within which the themes of divine providence, monotheism, and imperial authority are central. This thesis has endeavoured to establish what the Historiae is in terms of content, purpose, and genre, a more complex task than this simple statement suggests. At every stage of analysis this research has worked to uncover the ideology and apologetic underlying Orosius‘s historical narrative, in particular the significance behind Orosius‘s stylistic habit of rhetorical comparison. This thesis consists of six chapters, unified in methodology but encompassing a broad diversity of subject matter. Chapter One examines the constructed text and its genre, as well as issues of opponent, audience and self-representation. Chapter Two provides a philosophical and technical treatment of time. Chapters Three and Four explore the representations of monotheism and imperial authority in the emperors Augustus and Theodosius. Chapter Five is concerned with Orosius‘s representation of warfare, and Chapter Six considers the retributive and redemptive aspect of the sack of Rome.

This paper examined the narrative structure, language style, and chronology of Aşḥāb Al-Kahfi story in Al-Qur'an. The research data were obtained from Al-Qur'ān. The Qur’anic verses which told about ...Aşḥāb Al-Kahf were collected in Surah Al-Kahf (18) verses 9-26. The results showed that the narrative structure of this story consists of orientation I, sequence of events I, coda I, complication, orientation II, sequence of events II, orientation III, coda II, orientation IV, and resolution. These structures are interrelated and form a logical, holistic, and beautiful story unit that fulfil all elements of Mark Anderson’s and Kathryn Anderson’s narrative-structure concepts. Meanwhile, the dialogue style dominates in the presentation of stories that are in accordance with the journey of the Prophet’s da’wa. The dialogue style used in the presentation of the story is calm and acceptable. This style is intended to defend the call of the prophet's da'wa and refute people’s rejection in the middle Meccan period through the theme of monotheism value and the mention of Allah’s powers. This study contributes to putting the theory of stylistics and narratology in the reading of story verses. Hence, this paper suggests a further study of the story verse covering the narrative structure’s meaning and function as well as aspects of the beauty of pronunciation and story verse meanings.
Recent scholarship on Yorùbá theology that has tried to model it after the Abrahamic monotheisms as the distinction between Ọ̀run rere (Heaven) and Ọ̀run àpáàdì (Hell) is now replete but has not, ...before now, commanded critical scrutiny. Specifically, the works of Ogunnade, Odebolu, Shittu and Odeyemi have argued for a Yorùbá notion of Hell even when there is no evidence for such in the theology and traditional practices of the peoples. The aim of this research, then, is to correct this unreliable and uncharitable misrepresentation of Yorùbá theology. To achieve this aim, this research employs the Kawaida methodology, which thrives on reason and tradition. In reinforcing its stance, this study relies on the sacred ritual archive of the Yorùbá, which is the Ifá corpus, to establish the absence of any form of Ọ̀run àpáàdì, as a place of eternal anguish and suffering for evil doers among the Yorùbá.
This article examines the Shiddiqiyyah Tariqa theosophy, which has produced people who care about welfare and humanity. This study took a qualitative model, and the data needed was about Tariqa ...teachings and the life activities of the Tariqa adherents collected through involved observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with the Murshid, 5 caliphs, and 20 Tariqa adherents which were then analyzed using holistic interpretation technique. The results showed that the Shiddiqiyyah Tariqa teaches Mālikiyyah monotheism doctrine namely the unity insight between servant and the King (manunggale kawulo lan Gusti). Humans, as servants, must glorify the King by magnifying His name, working for Him, and adapting themselves to Him, for example, working diligently, because He is also diligent at working to bring prosperity to His servant. This teaching formed the Tariqa adherents into moderate people who, apart from being diligent in dhikr, were also diligent in work.

The term monotheism often comes with many caveats. Biblical conceptions of God and categories of the divine that interpreters might designate as “monotheism” developed in response to factors within ...the ancient contexts of biblical authors. However, it is in later Enlightenment contexts that theologians and historians characterize their understanding of biblical theology as monotheistic. As with the terms religion and even Bible, many presume a definition of monotheism that is particularly modern, “western,” and Christian‐centric. Generally speaking, most categorical conceptions of monotheism do not reflect the nuance, variety, and situatedness of our ancient data, both biblical texts and the literature, inscriptions, and available material culture that we utilize in reconstructions of ancient Judean and Israelite traditions. From its outset and still today, scholarly conversation about the category monotheism reflects the impacts of how confessional and traditional histories utilize this term. “Monotheism” often appears as dichotomously paired with “polytheism,” but many scholars prefer alternative concepts such as monolatry, henotheism, or one‐deity discourse. This article invites readers to explore scholarly questions around the relationships between monotheism and the Hebrew Bible by introducing readers to the Enlightenment context for the conceptualization of monotheism, to scholarly considerations regarding the utility of the concept for explaining ancient phenomena, to select relevant ancient data such as deities featured in the Hebrew Bible, and to several topics of study that prominently intertwine with the category monotheism, especially the relationships of Israel and Judah with their neighbors.
The emergence of the alphabet in ancient Greece, usually heralded as the first step in the inexorable march toward reason and progress, in fact signaled the introduction of a chance technology that ...hijacked the future, with devastating consequences for humanity. By investigating an array of cultural artifacts, ranging from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey to the Oracle at Delphi to Luther's challenge to the Church, this book demonstrates how the apparently benign emergence of writing made possible far-ranging systems of organized domination and unprecedented levels of violence. The Violence of the Letter considers how a twenty-six-letter code changed the face of the world, and not always for the better.
