亞伯拉罕的獨一真神 Abrahamic Monotheism / God of Abraham
亞伯拉罕的獨一真神 Abrahamic Monotheism / God of Abraham
● 字源與神學概念
在比較神學、宗教史與哲學中,亞伯拉罕的獨一真神(The One True God of Abraham) 是西方三大主導性宗教(猶太教 Judaism、基督教 Christianity、伊斯蘭教 Islam,合稱「亞伯拉罕諸教 Abrahamic Religions」)共同的信仰核心:
亞伯拉罕的契約(The Abrahamic Covenant):
根據創世記與古近東歷史,族長亞伯拉罕(Abraham / 易卜拉欣 Ibrahim)回應了獨一真神的呼召,摒棄了古近東地區的多神與擇一神崇拜(Henotheism),建立了與獨一真神的嚴肅契約。
獨一真神的核心神學屬性:
Transcendent Creator(超驗的創造者):上帝並非自然界本身(拒絕泛神論),而是凌駕於時間、空間與物質之上的宇宙造物主(ex nihilo,從無中創造)。
Moral Lawgiver(道德律法的頒佈者):上帝不僅擁有至高權能,更頒佈客觀的道德律法(如十誡),要求信徒追求聖潔、正義與慈愛。
Aniconic & Absolute Singularity(無偶像化與絕對唯一性):禁止製造任何雕像或畫像來代表上帝(Iconoclasm / Aniconism),強調上帝不可質化、不可視覺化與絕對的唯一性。
同源詞:
monotheism(獨一神論)
covenant(聖約/契約)
transcendence(超驗/超越性)
aniconic(無偶像的)。

● 參考翻譯
直到古代族長亞伯拉罕拒絕了美索不達米亞的多神論,神學歷史才真正承認亞伯拉罕的獨一真神——這位在猶太教、基督教與伊斯蘭教中被共同尊崇為「全能宇宙創造者與道德律法唯一頒佈者」的至高超驗神祇——神聖的契約約束著虔誠的信徒、嚴格的無偶像主義禁止著物質偶像,且神聖的公義指引著道德行為;每當先知傳統在人類文明中宣告絕對的神聖唯一性時,這使得這項一神論啟示成為西方心靈意識的基石支柱。
