The Monotheistic Revolution:
A Jewish Innovation
Welcome to our third PowerPoint presentation. Here, I will lecture about the most important Hebrew innovation, that is, the development of the belief in a single god. This innovation is the Hebrew's most influential offering to world history, particularly the history of the West, since Western Civilization from Imperial Rome to the present has embraced the Hebrew god as its own divinity. As we will see, Hebrew monotheism evolved over time. In the next slides, I will tell you about the major concepts and tenets of Jewish monotheism, as well as about its historical development and ultimate significance to world history.
