Henotheism
Henotheism (Greek ''henas theos'' "one god") is the belief in and worship of a single god while accepting the existence or possible existence of other deities that may also be served. The term was originally coined by Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling (1775–1854) to depict early stages of monotheism. Max Müller (1823–1900), a German philologist and orientalist, brought the term into wider usage.〔Müller, Max. (1878) ''Lectures on the Origin and Growth of Religion: As Illustrated by the Religions of India.'' London:Longmans, Green and Co.〕 Müller made the term central to his criticism of Western theological and religious exceptionalism (relative to Eastern religions), focusing on a cultural dogma which held "monotheism" to be both fundamentally well defined and inherently superior to differing conceptions of God.
==Definition and terminology==
Variations on the term have been "inclusive monotheism" and "monarchical polytheism", designed to describe differing forms of the idea. Related terms are monolatrism and kathenotheism, which are typically understood as subtypes of henotheism. The latter term is an extension of "henotheism", from (''kath' hena theon'') — "one god at a time".〔(Online Etymology Dictionary: kathenotheism )〕 Henotheism is similar but less exclusive than monolatry because a monolator worships only one god (denying that other gods are worthy of worship),〔(What is Monolatry? )〕 while the henotheist may worship any within the pantheon, depending on circumstances, but will usually worship only one throughout one's life (barring some sort of conversion). In some belief systems, the choice of the supreme deity within a henotheistic framework may be determined by cultural, geographical, historical or political reasons.
