About This Tag

Early Israelite theology often reflects a henotheistic worldview, in which the existence of other gods is not denied, but exclusive worship is demanded for Israel’s own God. Rather than asserting monotheism in a modern sense, texts like Deuteronomy 17:3 prohibit allegiance to foreign gods, not because they are unreal, but because worshiping them violates the covenant.
