Encyclopedia > Kathenotheism

Kathenotheism is a term coined by the philologist Max Müller to mean the worship of one god at a time. It is closely related to monolatrism and polytheism. Müller originally coined the term in reference to the Vedas; he argued there are different supreme gods at different times. Kathenotheism is sometimes distinguished as follows: a monolatrist worships only one God during their whole life (assuming they do not undergo a conversion); while they accept that other Gods exist they do not worship them. A kathenotheist worships one God at a time, depending on their locality or the time.

INDOlink - Religion & Spirituality: A God of Shared Humanity (2463 words)
The learned philosopher Max Muller was most confused when he devised a new term,Â’HenotheismÂ’or Kathenotheism.
He mistakenly concluded that different Vedas speak of different gods from hymn to hymn though through their description they directly address to one and the only one God who is the Supreme God, The eternal God.
Max Muller dubbed it as Kathenotheism, thinking that whatever god is before the singers mind at the moment is God, the Eternal One.
