Description

The author presents the tradition of monotheistic ideas and formulas in three parts, beginning with non-Jewish world, then turning to the Old Testament and finally to the New Testament. She studies the to date little known beginnings of non-Jewish monotheistic thinking, for example, among the Greek Presocratics, Plato and the Stoics up to the beginnings of the Roman Empire. The second chapter is devoted to the use of monotheistic formulas in the Old Testament and in the Jewish writings of Greek and Roman times. In the third chapter the author asks how it was possible that early Chistianity, having received the monotheistic creed of God the Father, could have accepted Jesus Christ as a divine figure - as the "son" next to the "father."
