Christentum im Trend. Monotheistische Tendenzen in der späten Antike

Abstract

According to a popular view, the history of religion in Late Antiquity is dominated by the opposition of Christian monotheism and pagan polytheism. In the last few years, however, scholars of that period have come to detect a phenomenon they called ‘pagan monotheism’. To put it more cautiously, we can see a tendency towards monotheism within the pagan world of Late Antiquity.
