Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| It is well known that there are three great monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Scholarly research has shown that for the earliest of these, Judaism, monotheism developed over a long period of time. Dr. MacDonald's research project examines the development of post-exilic Judaism since the sixth century BC. It is normally assumed that from that period, Jewish monotheism took a fixed shape. Dr. MacDonald seeks to show that for some time Judaism had a variety of monotheistic forms. These understood the implications of God's exclusivity in significantly different ways. It took centuries for post-exilic Judaism to establish the consequences of her monotheistic claims. Dr. MacDonald will analyse this fascinating process in his project. It promises important insights into the formation of Jewish monotheism, which was the basis for all future monotheistic beliefs. |
