Monotheism is a scholarly work written by Count Goblet D'Alviella, a Belgian philosopher and historian. The book explores the concept of monotheism in depth, tracing its origins and development throughout history. D'Alviella begins by examining the ancient religions of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and India, which he argues were not truly monotheistic despite their belief in a single supreme deity. He then moves on to discuss the emergence of monotheism in the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, tracing the evolution of the concept of God from its earliest roots to its modern interpretations. Throughout the book, D'Alviella draws on a wide range of sources, including religious texts, archaeological evidence, and philosophical treatises, to provide a comprehensive picture of the development of monotheism. He also explores the impact of monotheism on society and culture, examining its role in shaping political and social structures, as well as its influence on art, literature, and philosophy. Overall, Monotheism is a thought-provoking and informative work that sheds new light on one of the most important concepts in human history.
