One God or Many? Monotheism in the Hebrew Bible

  • Lehrhaus 425 Washington Street Somerville, MA 02143 USA (map)

Ever wondered what it truly means to worship one God? What even is monotheism? Together, we’ll dissect key texts (in English translation) from the Tanach—like Exodus 15:11 and Psalms 82—that challenge traditional notions of monotheism. Discover the nuances in verses from Jeremiah and Isaiah that align with our understanding of one God. Through lively discussion and fresh perspectives, we’ll unravel the complexities of Biblical theology and its implications for modern faith.
