会一直沿用“天主”一词。但龙华民等传教士并未就此罢休，后来译名问题直接反映到罗马教皇那里，教皇克勒孟十一世（Pope Clement XI)敕令统一用“天主”为Deus之中译名，然而仍然没有使争论停止。到19世纪初，马礼逊虽然认为“天主”和“神”都可以用来译God,但他还是选择了后者，因为天主教徒使用前者并未使多少中国人皈依天主，反而把“天主”和“菩萨”混为一谈。马礼逊还使用过“真神”、“神天”、“神主”、“主神”、“天帝”、“天皇”等译名，他的《圣经》译本用的就是《神天圣书》作书名。在印度译经的马士曼也是用“神”译God.协助马礼逊翻译的米怜开始也倾向于“神”的译法，但最终主张选用“上帝”一词。他主编的第一份中文期刊《察世俗每月统记传》前几卷用“神”字，后面几卷则改用“上帝”来对译God.马礼逊本人以及后来的传教士都对“马礼逊译本”不满，时有修订马氏译本的呼声。19世纪30年代，郭实腊等人对马礼逊译本进行修订时，就改“神”为“上帝”。但从翻译工作开始时，翻译会议就出现严重的分歧，主要是前文提到的以麦都思为代表的英国传教士基本上都主张将God 译为“上帝”，以裨治文为代表的美国传教士则几乎都支持“神”的译法。从1848年1月持续讨论至1850年8月，《新约》的修订终于完成，凡是涉及有争议的译名，均留下空白。其实译词问题已经是一个老问题了，聚讼不已的还有Baptizo或 Baptism,Deus(拉丁文），Spirit或Pheuma等词。从1845年到1851年，传教士们在英文期刊《中国丛报》上发表30多篇文章辩论这个问题，并纷纷引用中国典籍以为佐证，甚至还专门请教中国学者。美国传教士的基本观点是：中国人没有独一真神观念，译者只能在中国人用来称呼主神的词和称呼所有神的类名之间进行选择，而各基督教民族在类似情景中常常用表达神性的类名作为唯一主宰的译名，“神”在中国文化中恰好是这样一个类名，也是中国人表达对最高级存在的崇拜的词。但如果用“上帝”作为God的译名，那就会把其独特意义的一神论与中国传统的“天”或“上帝”相混淆，让中国人误解为他们习以为常的偶像，如“玉皇大帝”等。英国传教士则认为：用中国人崇拜的主神作为God的译名符合基督教的历史传统，因为希腊词Theos 或拉丁词Deus 实际上来源于人们称呼主神的词Zeus和Dios,而中国人用“帝”或“上帝”表示最高主宰、意志，是所有事物的创造者和安排者，也是最高的祭祀和崇拜的对象，“神”则是附属于“上帝”的某种东西，而且可以是复数概念，因此不能表达“唯一的主宰”之义。在中国文化中，“神”可以意指一切精灵，如“山神”、

“河神”等，这些“神”在中国人的心中有好有坏，不一定受到崇拜。英国著名传教士、汉学家理雅各从中国古典文学中引证大量文献支持“上帝”的译法，他认为“上帝”一词最初丝毫没有泛神论和多神论的含义，而“神”却有这样的负面涵义。他指出，God作为相对概念字，与“受造物”（creatures)成对，有统治、管辖之义，而“上帝”也有统治、管辖之义，中国古典文学中有不少故事情节，让人感到世事就是冥冥之中注定的，是“上帝”安排的。理雅各不仅直接引述中文资料，而且还通过宗教比较、语言习惯分析、逻辑推论等手段，进行了令人信服的论辩，为“上帝”派赢得声威。由于争论相持不下，伦敦会传教士在1850年初提出一个折衷办法，建议同时放弃“上帝”与“神”的译法，采用《大秦景教流行中国碑颂》中使用的“阿罗阿”（Aloah)或“阿罗诃”（Aloho)作为God或Theos的对应词，这样既可以消除双方的分歧，也可以与中国人的迷信思想划清界限。但伦敦会传教士的建议没有被采纳，1847年后，传教士又组织了几次“修订委员会”，然而都无果而终。其实，译词问题根本不可能在语言学上得到解决，因为它们分属于两个完全异质的观念与文化系统，完全对等是不可能的。尽管传教士们争论不休，但结果是美国圣经公会支持用“神”这个字，于是它资助的差会所出版的《圣经》便只能用“神”来译God,而英国圣经公会却支持“上帝”的译法，因此它资助出版的《圣经》自然选用“上帝”这个译法。由此可见，教会作为传教士译介活动的赞助者，在译词或者在更广泛的意义上说在译本的最终面貌上，具有最终的决定权力，忽视了这一点，只在词语本身的层面上判断翻译的得失成败是没有意义的。

god | "god" 的词源、"god" 的起源和意思 - etymonline

| "god" 的词源、"god" 的起源和意思 - etymonline搜索Quick search commandColumnsForumAppsPremium登录登录广告god(n.)同时 God; 古英语 god "至高无上的存在，神；基督教上帝；神的形象；神一般的人"，源自原始日耳曼语 *guthan（也源自古撒克逊语、古弗里斯语、荷兰语 god 、古高地德语 got 、德语 Gott 、古诺尔斯语 guð 、哥特语 guþ），其起源不确定；可能源自原始印欧语 *ghut- "被祈求的东西"（也源自古教会斯拉夫语 zovo "呼唤"，梵语 huta- "被祈求"，是印度神梵天的别称），源自词根 *gheu(e)- "呼唤，祈求"。这个概念可能是指"被召唤到祭祀中的神灵"。但有些人将其追溯到原始印欧语 *ghu-to- "倾倒"，源自词根 *gheu- "倾倒，倒酒"（希腊语 khein "倾倒"，也在短语 khute gaia "倾倒的土地"中，指的是埋葬土堆；参见 found (v.2)）。"考虑到希腊的事实，日耳曼语形式可能最初指的是埋葬土堆中的精神实体" [Watkins]。参见 Zeus。无论哪种情况，与 good 无关。Popular etymology has long derived God from good; but a comparison of the forms ... shows this to be an error. Moreover, the notion of goodness is not conspicuous in the heathen conception of deity, and in good itself the ethical sense is comparatively late. [Century Dictionary, 1897]流行的词源学长期以来将 God 与"好"联系在一起；但对这些形式的比较表明这是一个错误。此外，在异教徒对神的概念中，善良的概念并不显著，在 good 本身中，道德意义相对较晚。[《世纪词典》，1897]在日耳曼语中，最初是一个中性名词，性别在基督教传入后变为阳性。古英语 god 可能在意义上更接近拉丁语 numen。一个更好的翻译 deus 的词可能是原始日耳曼语 *ansuz，但这个词只用于日耳曼宗教中最高的神灵，而不用于外来的神灵，并且从未用于基督教上帝。它在英语中主要存在于以 Os- 开头的人名中。I want my lawyer, my tailor, my servants, even my wife to believe in God, because it means that I shall be cheated and robbed and cuckolded less often. ... If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. [Voltaire]我希望我的律师、我的裁缝、我的仆人，甚至我的妻子都相信上帝，因为这意味着我会被欺骗、被抢劫和被戴绿帽的次数会更少……如果上帝不存在，就有必要创造他。[伏尔泰]在有人打喷嚏后说"God bless you"被归功于圣格里高利大帝，但古罗马人（Absit omen）和希腊人也有类似的习俗。God's gift to _____ 是在1931年出现的。God of the gaps 意味着"上帝仅作为对科学无法解释的事物的解释"；确切的短语出自1949年，但这个词和这个概念早在1894年就存在。God-forbids 是 kids（"孩子"）的押韵俚语。God squad "福音组织"是1969年美国学生俚语。God's acre "埋葬地"模仿或部分翻译了德语 Gottesacker，其中第二个元素的意思是"领域"；这个短语在17世纪10年代出现在英语中，但直到朗费罗时期仍被认为是德语特色。How poore, how narrow, how impious a measure of God, is this, that he must doe, as thou wouldest doe, if thou wert God. [John Donne, sermon preached in St. Paul's Jan. 30, 1624/5]这是多么贫瘠、狭隘、亵渎的对上帝的评价，认为他必须按照你如果是上帝的话你会怎么做的方式行事。[约翰·邓恩，1624/5年1月30日在圣保罗大教堂的布道] god相关词汇 godfound(v.2)“to cast metal,” 14世纪晚期，最初的意思是“混合，搀和”，源自于古法语 fondre “倾倒，熔化，冶炼”（12世纪），源自于拉丁语 fundere（过去分词 fusus）“熔化，铸造，倾倒”，源自于 PIE 词根 *gheu- “倾倒”。“铸造金属”的意思始于1560年代。相关词汇： Founded； founding。good(adj.)古英语 gōd（发音为长音“o”）意为“优秀的，好的；有价值的；令人向往的，有利的；完整的，整体的”；用于抽象概念、行动等表示“有益的，有效的；正直的，虔诚的”；用于人或灵魂表示“正直的，虔诚的，品德高尚的”；可能最初的意思是“具有正确或理想的品质”，源自原始日耳曼语 *gōda- “合适的，适宜的”（源自古弗里斯兰语 god，古撒克逊语 gōd，古诺尔斯语 goðr，中古荷兰语 goed，荷兰语 goed，古高地德语 guot，德语 gut，哥特语 goþs）。这个词的词源不确定，可能最初的意思是“合适的，足够的，相配的”，源自 PIE 词根 *ghedh- “联合，关联，适合”（也源自梵语 gadh- “夺取（战利品）”，古教会斯拉夫语 godu “有利的时机”，俄语 godnyi “合适的”，立陶宛语 goda “荣誉”，古英语 gædrian “聚集，聚拢”）。不规则的比较级和最高级（better， best）反映了“好”的词汇中的普遍模式，如拉丁语 bonus， melior， optimus。“友善，仁慈”的意义可追溯到古英语晚期，用于人或上帝，14世纪中叶用于行动。中古英语中“神圣”的意义保留在 Good Friday 中。表示“友好的，亲切的”可追溯到公元1200年左右。表示“幸运的，繁荣的，有利的”可追溯到古英语晚期。作为满意的表达，可追溯到15世纪初。对于人来说，“熟练（在某个职业或工作中），专家”，在古英语晚期，现在通常使用 at；在中古英语中使用 of 或 to。对于孩子来说，“行为端正”，可追溯到17世纪90年代。对于货币来说，“没有贬值，价值标准”，可追溯到14世纪晚期。从公元1200年开始，用于数字或数量，表示“大的，伟大的”，用于时间或距离，表示“长的”； good while “相当长的时间”可追溯到公元1300年； good way “相当远的距离”可追溯到15世纪中叶。Why then, can one desire too much of a good thing. ["As You Like It"]那么，一个人能对好事有太多的欲望吗？（《皆大欢喜》）As good as “实际上，几乎”可追溯到14世纪中叶； to be good for “对...有益”可追溯到14世纪晚期。to make good “偿还（费用，开支），弥补（罪孽或冒犯）”可追溯到14世纪晚期。to have a good mind “渴望（做某事）”可追溯到公元1500年左右。Good deed，good works 在古英语中表示“虔诚的行为”； good deed 具体表示“为他人服务的行为”，在20世纪初得到童子军的加强。Good turn 可追溯到公元1400年左右。Good sport 指人，可追溯到1906年。The good book “圣经”可追溯到1801年，最初用于描述在美洲印第安部落的传教工作中的转化语言的传教文献。Good to go 可追溯到1989年。广告Zeusdemigodgiddygod-awfulgodchildgod-damngod-daughtergoddessgodfatherGod-fearinggodforsakenGodfreygodheadGodismgodlessgodlikegodlygodmotherSee all related words (30)god 的使用趋势广告仅供参考，由机器翻译系统提供。查看原文，请访问：Etymology, origin and meaning of god广告在 god 附近的词典条目gobogobsmackedgobygo-bygo-cartgodgod-awfulgodchildgod-damngod-daughtergoddess链接论坛参考文献链接产品iOS 应用安卓应用Chrome 扩展关于网站作者网站简介在 Facebook 关注我们支持通过 PayPal 捐赠Patreon 订阅支持购买周边简体中文 (Chinese)深色自动浅色服务协议隐私政策Copyright © 2001 - 2023 Douglas Har

The Creation of Adam by MichelangeloAlonso de Mendoza (Public Domain)

'God' is the common word for the identity of a higher being in the universe beyond our world, the creator of all known existence, and who rules in conjunction with lower gradients of divinity (angels). In Greek, theikos ("divine") meant to be god-like in attributes or power. Theology is thus the study of the nature of God and God's relationship with humans.

The English word 'god' first came into use through a German term applied in the 6th-century Christian Codex Argenteus, gudan ("to call" or "to invoke" a power). In Western traditions, 'God' is the God of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These three constitute the three Abrahamic faiths, as all three claim that this deity revealed himself to an ancient patriarch, Abraham. English Bibles distinguish this being from all other gods with a capital G.

Ancient Cultures

Ancient concepts of the universe posited the heavens (the abode of the gods), the earth (the place of humans), and the underworld (the place of the dead). Gods could transcend all three levels. Many ancient tribes promoted a local god or goddess as the founder of their clans. Some were elevated with the concept of a high god/goddess or a king/queen of the gods, who ruled over diverse gradients of powers in the universe.

The God of Israel acted alone, without a female consort, through speech.

Ancient religions also had creation myths, describing the way in which everything in the universe was created (most often out of chaos) and the formation of the first humans and human society. Myths validated contemporary law codes (rituals, behavior, and gender roles), which were thought to have originated with the gods and thus were deemed sacred.

Divine possession was the way ancient peoples communicated with their gods (the rituals and practices known as divination). Oracles were both people and places where a deity spoke through someone in a trance-like state. The Jewish equivalent was the prophets, whom God possessed and spoke through them to deliver messages to the people. Bibles distinguish the words of God by the introduction, "Thus says the Lord," and then the words are indented and structured like poetry.

The God of Israel

The book of Genesis in the Jewish Scriptures promoted this deity as the highest god of what would become the nation of Israel. God created and controlled the known elements of both the universe and everything on earth. The God of Israel acted alone, without a female consort, through speech: "And God said, 'Let there be light'" (Genesis 1:3). This was not unique; ancient Egyptian religion claimed the creator god Ptah created through speech. God created the first human couple, Adam and Eve, who were ordered to be fruitful and multiply.

A premier moment in Genesis is in chapter 12, the call of Abraham, from Ur in Mesopotamia. He was to be the father of a great nation (the meaning of his name change from Avram to Abraham) and would be given the land of Canaan as a prosperous land for his clans and herds. His descendants would be protected and prosperous as long as they honored and obeyed this God. God ordered Abraham and his descendants to perform circumcision, which functioned as a permanent, physical marker to distinguish this group from the other nations.

Ancient peoples developed contracts with their gods, spelling out the duties of each side. From the Hebrew "to cut" we have the term 'covenant,' a contract reflecting the ritual of cutting animal sacrifices in half while declaring an oath to a deity. There are several stories of the God of Israel joining in covenants with his people: the covenants with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and King David.

In some of the older texts from the region, el (plural: elohim) was a common form in Hittite, Ugaritic, paleo-Hebrew, Canaanite, and Aramaic for divine powers. At times El was understood as 'the god' to distinguish it from others, and often associated with creation. El was often combined with an attribute. In Abraham's second call by God in Genesis 17:1, this being was described as El-Shaddai, ("God almighty"). In Genesis 14:18-20, Abraham accepted a blessing of El Elyon ("most high") from Melchizedek, the king of Salem and priest of this god. The followers of this God became Israelites: "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome." (Genesis 32:28)

Jews became a common term during the Persian occupation (6th century BCE), deriving from Yehudi, "those from the kingdom of Judah." During the reign of the Northern Israelite king Ahab and his wife Jezebel (871-852 BCE), Jezebel's family deities (ba'als, Levantine and Canaanite gods) were prominent. Through the work of the prophets Elijah and Elisha (in the book of Kings), the God of Israel was elevated to what we can deem a national god. The concept of God as a universal deity is found in Isaiah: "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth" (40:28).

Polytheism & Monotheism

From the time of the Enlightenment, world religions are divided between the polarities of polytheism (recognition and worship of more than one god) and monotheism (the belief in one god), while pantheism describes the recognition of several gods with gradients of authority and henotheism means the elevation of one god over many lower divinities.

The terms remain problematic because they were not common descriptors in the ancient world. It would be better to say that the ancients participated in religious pluralism. There was no contradiction in belonging to several different cults of specific gods. People did not articulate their concepts as belief or faith (Greek: pistis, "loyalty") the way we do now. They believed in their gods, but what was crucially important was performing the rituals and sacrifices correctly, as handed down from the gods to the ancestors. There was no such concept as ancient monotheism. All ancient people were polytheists in this sense, including the Jews.

Ancient Jews conceived of a hierarchy of powers in heaven that included a divine court: "sons of God" (Genesis 6:4), angels, archangels, cherubim, and seraphim. Jews also recognized the existence of demons (lower divinities) and introduced the concept of a fallen angel, which is the origin of Satan, the Devil.

In the Jewish Scriptures, the God of Israel (as the original creator) was responsible for creating "the other gods" and consistently referred to the existence of the gods of the nations: Deuteronomy 6:14 "Do not follow other gods" (Deuteronomy 6:14); "God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the gods" (Psalm 82:1). In the story of the Jews' exodus from Egypt, God battled against the gods of Egypt to demonstrate who controls nature. This makes little sense if their existence was not recognized.

Moses Receives the 10 CommandmentsGebhard Fugel (Public Domain)

The foundational story for the idea that Jews were monotheistic was when Moses received the ten commandments of God on Mt. Sinai: "I am the Lord your God… You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:2-3). This does not indicate that other gods do not exist; it is a commandment that the Jews were not to worship any other gods. We combine worship with belief and veneration, but worship in the ancient world always meant sacrifices. Jews could pray to angels and other powers in heaven, but they were only to offer sacrifices to the God of Israel. This commandment was one of the major differences between Jews and all other traditional ethnic cults. This difference was promoted with the ban on images: "You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above, on the earth beneath or in the waters below" (Exodus 20:4).

Yahweh

When Moses encountered a presence on Mount Sinai and asked him his name, "God said to Moses, 'I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I am has sent me to you'" (Exodus 3:14). Ancient Hebrew was written in consonants (with vowel sounds articulated and letters added later). From the four consonants in "I am who I am" (YHWH), comes Yahweh, also known as the Tetragrammaton, or the sacred name of God.

In Hebrew, ehyeh asher ehyeh is the first person singular of the verb 'to be.' One way in which to understand the form of the name is to relate it as an action verb. This is a God who acts, specifically by intervening at various times in the earthly realm of his people. The "I am" also indicated self-sufficiency, acting alone, as the primal creator and contingent upon no other powers.

Yahweh may have been adopted much earlier than the story of Moses.

However, Yahweh appeared in an earlier inscription in Egypt to commemorate the victories of Pharaoh Amenhotep III (c. 1400 BCE), which cited "enemies from the land of Shasu of Yahweh." Shasu was a specific group of nomads that may have constituted the Israelites. Yahweh may have been adopted much earlier than the story of Moses as the deity of these particular nomads. The 9th-century BCE stele erected by the Moabite king, Mesha, boasted that he defeated the king of Israel and took the vessels of Yahweh.

Jerusalem & Temple Worship

The books of Joshua and Judges described a period when the Israelites belonged to a tribal confederation of the descendants of the twelve sons of Jacob during the Iron Age (1200-600 BCE). Moses had placed the tablets of the law in a wooden chest, the Ark of the Covenant, which was housed in a portable tent shrine during the wilderness years. To avoid jealousy or dominance among the tribes, cult sites in various tribal sections took turns guarding the tent.

King Solomon (970-931 BCE) built the first temple in Jerusalem, which had been conquered by his father, King David. King Josiah (640-609 BCE) is credited with reforming the cult by eliminating local practices and centering the worship at this temple alone and to Yahweh alone. Some scholars consider that this is when Deuteronomy 6 was inserted, in what became a central prayer of Judaism, known as Shema Yisrael, "Hear, O Israel, Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is one."

The Ark of the Covenant was transferred to the Holy of Holies, the inner sanctum of the Temple. Moses was told: "There, above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the covenant law, I will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites." (Exodus 25:22). The Ark represented the presence of God in the temple (as either his throne or footstool). This presence is what made the temple a sacred space, requiring the purity rules in the book of Leviticus when one approached the temple.

Appearance & Attributes

The God of Israel is described as aniconic, not depicted as a statue or other image. But this did not exclude symbolic or literary analogies. In fact, many pre-reform images of Yahweh, particularly in Northern Israel, utilized a common bull image (the golden calves of Jeroboam in 1 Kings), a symbol of fertility.

In Genesis 1:26-27 we read:

Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

A more modern interpretation of this passage relates image to function. As God ruled all of creation, men and women were to rule as substitutional servants of God in the care of the earth. Given the social construction of gender and gender roles in antiquity, the God of Israel was always described as male. We have many anthropomorphic images ascribed to God, such as the face of God or the hand of God.

Rather than literal depictions, common descriptors are omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnipresent. This latter concept coheres to the idea of transcendence, the ability to cross over the spatial areas of the known universe. Immanence is also a concept that at times the God of Israel manifested himself on earth in various ways to either save or punish his people. God utilized the prophets to urge repentance whenever they had sinned or neglected the commandments.

Hellenistic Judaism

After the conquests of Alexander the Great (r. 336-323 BCE), Greek culture, Greek government, and Greek religion were introduced into the Eastern Mediterranean. Educated Jews could participate in the various schools of Greek philosophy. Philosophers promoted the concept of an original high god beyond the parameters of the physical universe and utilized the literary devices of allegory and metaphor. As a pure, good essence, this being did not create but emanated lower powers who were responsible for creation. This oneness of the highest god was unified throughout the universe, being present in nature, materiality, and in humans in the concept of the soul. This interconnectedness was achieved through the emanation of a divine aspect of logos ("rationality," sometimes translated as "word").

The Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandria (writing in the early decades of the 1st century CE), presented Judaism in light of Greek philosophical principles, claiming the same one high god as the God of Israel. Through allegory, Moses could be understood as the logos, who provided a system or reason and rationality through Mosaic Law.

Christianity: A Second God

In the decades of the 20s and 30s of the 1st century CE, Jesus of Nazareth, in the form of a traditional prophet, began preaching the imminence of the kingdom of God on earth. Positing a kingdom that was not Rome, he was executed by crucifixion (the punishment for treason) by the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate. After the trial and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth, his followers claimed that he was resurrected from the dead and exalted to God's side in heaven (Acts 7).

Our earliest literature for what would become Christianity is found in the letters of Paul the Apostle (c. 50s-60s CE). A Pharisee who experienced a vision of Christ in heaven (the Greek term for messiah, Christos), claimed that he was commissioned to be the apostle (herald) to the Gentiles (non-Jews). According to the prophets, Gentiles could join Israel when God instituted his kingdom on earth. They did not have to have the physical identity markers of Jews (circumcision, dietary laws, or Sabbath observance), but Paul's communities did have to cease all sacrifices to the traditional gods. At this stage, this was not monotheism. Paul upheld the existence of other gods; he berated them for interfering at times with his mission. It was the sacrifices to these other gods that were no longer valid in Paul's concepts of salvation.

Paul introduced an innovation to Jewish traditions. Christ was pre-existent and present with God from creation, who humbled himself to appear as a man on earth and died as a sacrifice to atone for Adam's sin, which had brought death into the world (Romans 5). He was "given the name that is above every name" (the Tetragrammaton, Yahweh). At the sound of the name of Christ, "every knee should bend" in an age-old concept of bowing down before images of the gods (Philippians 2). Paul utilized a Jewish concept that God was selfless; God himself became manifest in the earthly Jesus. This was why Jesus was worthy of worship. The preface of the Gospel of John utilized the concept of the divine logos, in what became the doctrine of Incarnation (Christ taking on flesh).

The separation of Christianity from Judaism occurred in the 2nd century CE, through the work of Christian leaders who no longer had ethnic connections to Judaism. They retained the traditions of God from the Scriptures but combined these with aspects of the philosophical high god. At the time, Christians were being persecuted by Rome for their refusal to participate in the state and imperial cults. Julius Caesar (100-44 BCE) had earlier exempted the Jews, and Christians petitioned magistrates and the Roman emperor that they should be granted the same exception, as they were verus Israel, "the true Jews" of God's covenant. Through allegory, the Church Fathers could 'prove' that everything in the history and story of Israel (the Scriptures) indicated a type of the pre-existent Christ. What distinguished Christians from Jews was that Christians were no longer held to the literal Law of Moses. God had established a new covenant with his people that upended the traditional practices. At the same time, with the ban on all idolatry, Christianity also separated itself from the dominant culture.

Trinity

Early Christianity experienced a series of continuing debates and conflicts over ways in which to express the oneness of God and yet allow for the simultaneous divinity and worship of Christ. A presbyter in Alexandria, Arius, was teaching that if you believed that everything in the universe was created by the God of Israel, then at some point he must have created Christ. This made Christ a creature, subservient to God. Riots over this teaching occurred in some cities, and Constantine I (r. 306-337 CE) called for the First Council of Nicaea in 325 CE. In maintaining the Jewish tradition of worshipping only one God, Christians constructed the concept known as the Trinity, which described the relationship of God to Christ, the origins of Christ, and an essence known as the Holy Spirit.

Holy TrinityFr Lawrence Lew, O.P. (CC BY-NC-ND)

The debate boiled down to two choices: was Christ homo-iousios, an essence like the father's, or was he homo-ousios, of one substance identical to the father's? (Notice that the difference in these two words boils down to one "i," an iota). The Council opted for the second choice in that God and Christ were identical in essence (substance) and that Christ was a manifestation of God himself on earth. While the Bishops were in attendance, Constantine had them formulate what became known as the Nicene Creed (from the first word Credo, "I believe"). This was an innovation; in the ancient world, there was no central authority to dictate what everyone should believe. As both head of the state and head of the Church, Constantine now had the authority to make it mandatory for every Christian. In a system where traditional sacrifices and rituals had been eliminated, belief became an important concept.

In traditional Judaism, the "spirit of God" was understood as the way in which God empowered individuals and actions, such as the spirit that animated Adam when he was created and God's possession of the prophets. From the beginning of the Christian movement, believers had experienced this power as gifts from God, in their ability to prophesize, teach, speak in tongues, heal, and raise people from the dead. The creed held God as one, but with three aspects: God the father, Christ the son, and the Holy Spirit.

God in Islam

Islam emerged as a reform movement of both Judaism and Christianity through revelations (the Quran) to the Prophet Muhammad in the Arabian peninsula in the 6th century CE. The Arabic Allah most likely derived from al-ʾilāh, "the God" related to el. Ilah meant "deity;" the al addition distinguished this deity from others. The Quran (considered sacred) was created as the eventual writing down of the revelations.

The dominant concept of Allah is tawhid, "oneness." This is declared in one of the pillars of Islam, the shahada, which states there is no god but God and Muhammad is His prophet. "Say: He is God, the One; God, the Eternal, the Absolute; He begot no one, nor is he begotten; Nor is there anyone equivalent to him." (112:4) Any concept or activity that comes close to idolatry is shirk ("making a partner"). There is no official priesthood in Islam, as there are no human intermediaries between God and humans. Imams are spiritual guides in the communities. Islam retains the existence of angels as messengers of God and honors the traditional patriarchs and prophets, with Muhammad the last of the prophets.

While using masculine principles of Arabic, God has no physical body parts or gender and transcends all: "There is nothing whatever like him, and he is the One that hears and sees [all things]" (42:11). The concept of Qadim ("ancient") implies eternity with no beginning and no end; normal boundaries and measurement cannot be applied to God. Thus, the ban on anthropomorphic descriptions, idolatry, and images was retained; these are incomplete attempts to describe something that was perfectly complete and unique. The ultimate source of existence, Allah is the uncaused cause, who created everything out of nothing, who is immutable and perfect. The most popular descriptors of an attribute of Allah are "compassionate" and "merciful." As in Judaism and Christianity, Islam promotes the concept of a future reign of Allah on earth and a final judgment.
