Bart Ehrman Quotes
Henotheism is the view that there are other gods, but there is only one God who is to be worshipped. The Ten Commandments express a henotheistic view, as does the majority of the Hebrew Bible.

In what a delightful communion with God does that man live who habitually seeketh love!
