Monotheism & the Oneness of God

The belief in one supreme God is the bedrock of the Abrahamic faiths and finds resonance in Hindu and Buddhist thought as well. Whether expressed as tawhid, the Shema, or Brahman, the conviction that ultimate reality is singular has shaped theology, ethics, and worship across civilizations.
