Monotheism

Stage 1 The theological and mythological period. Reality is described as the result of supernatural forces (polytheism, monotheism, animism).

The modern pagan movement has yet to grasp this effectively. The majority—and we speak from experience—still view the gods as simply an alternative religious approach to monotheism. They worship the gods in the same mode as did the lay people of the ancient world, not as initiates of the Mysteries worshiped.

Pantheion in Ancient Greece referred to a shrine for all the gods, in contrast to monotheism of the Christian epoch. 

BAZUDEN (333-41-S) A weak base. Hydrolyzes slowly in water and dilute acid. With excess water, this compound produces diethylthiophosphoric acid and 2-isopropyl-4-methyl-6-pyrimidol. With insufficient water, this compound produces highly toxic tetraethyl monoth-iopyrophosphate. Incompatible with antimony(V) pentafluoride, diacetate, magnesium, silver nitrate. Reacts with strong acids, alkalis, copper-containing compounds, oxidizers. 

The Italians had a profound effect on religion. Christianity, for example, gained momentum from the Roman Empire. In Neil s opinion, without the Italian peninsula, we would not have Christianity. Because Islam was an early offshoot of Christianity, there also would be no Islam. Neil speculates, however, that monotheism has been an important factor in modem cultural development, so some kind of Jewish offshoot similar to Christianity would have developed, but this would have depended heavily on the political scene of the Mediterranean at the time. In Neil s opinion, the Italian peninsula has had a greater effect on today s civilization than the Greek peninsula.

According to tradition the deity of Abraham insisted on being the sole divinity— introducing the then novel concept of monotheism. 

Monotheism helped guarantee the longevity of the culture A monotheistic religion could not be diluted by the assimilation of other gods or customs. Equally importantly Abraham was from a nomadic people and his god was a nomadic god, not associated with particular shrine. This made the religion transportable and allowed the Hebrew civilization to survive as a culture even after the Hebrew people were driven from their land and dispersed.

K. Flolter, Second Isaiah s Idol-Fabrication Passages (bet 28 Frankfurt am Main Peter Lang, 1995). Holter seeks also to move the discussion away from narrowly diachronic concerns in the direction of a more consciously contextual exegesis. Some aspects of Holter s analysis are developed in ways helpful for the present essay by N. MacDonald, Monotheism and Isaiah," in Interpreting Isaiah Issues andApproaches, ed. D.G. Firth and H.G.M. Williamson (Nottingham Apollos, 2009), 43-61.

One should also note that the institutions intrinsic to the people originated before the kingdom and are not bound to it. There is a "myth of the empty land, 2 Kgs 25 21 (first introduced by Hans Barstad, this notion has become ubiquitous in recent scholarship), which implies that the Land is now for the Golah, not for the people who remained in it. The point is, however, that the Dtr History, both in the exilic and post-exilic editions, appears as crisis hterature and Diaspora novel. These terms signal that the History is much more occupied with the question of how to explain the exile, and how to get around in the land of deportation and even prosper in it. The preoccupation of these redactions is segregation, monotheism, and Torah piety. There is a collective or even democratic tendency in these redactions. 

What is being demanded by this commandment, as most agree, is monola-try, a dynamic monolatry which had the seeds of monotheism within it, as J.J. Stamm puts it. There is no denial of the existence of other gods indeed, the formulation effectively presupposes it. Yet all worship carried out by Israelites must be worship of Yahweh if they also worship other deities, their worship of Yahweh will be the less. They will be withholding from him the worship that he demands as his due, and in that respect they will be robbing him of his rights. ... 

A practical and highly enantioselective Michael addition of malonates to enones catalysed by bifunctional primary amine-thiourea (5) derived from 1,2-diaminocyclohexane has been reported. The addition of weak acids and elevated temperature improved the efficiency of the Michael reaction. This approach enables the efficient synthesis of 1,5-ketoesters with good yields, excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee), and low loading (0.5-5 mol%) of catalysts. A related bifunctional cinchona-thiourea catalyst has been involved in asymmetric organocatalysed conjugate addition reactions of monoth-iomalonates to nitroolefins. ...
