»Monotheismus, ein ganz leeres Wort?«

The pros and cons of the category of monotheism have been debated intensively in recent research. This concerns a number of areas, such as biblical exegesis, the church history of late antiquity in particular, and systematic theology. Erik Peterson was one of the first to deal with this category in the twentieth century. His theory of monotheism is a critique of monotheism - not just of political monotheism, as the title of his famous book from 1935 states. Protestant and Catholic theologians from the fields of exegesis, dogmatics, patristics and canon law go in search of Peterson's theories in this volume.
