Elisabeth Johnson “SHE WHO IS”

Monotheism: the belief in the existence of one god or in the oneness of God. E.g.: Christianity

Polytheism: is the worship or belief in multiple deities usually assembled into a pantheon of gods and goddesses, along with their own religions and rituals. E.g.: Hinduism, Shintoism, Chinese folk religion

Animism: is the religious worldview that natural physical entities—including animals, plants, and often even inanimate objects or phenomena—possess a spiritual essence.

Panentheism:i s the belief that everything composes an all-encompassing, immanent God, or that the universe (or nature) is identical with divinity. Pantheists thus do not believe in a personal or anthropomorphic god.

Atheism: the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.

Transcendence: God beyond the world.

Immanence: God is the world.

Idolatry: Worship something that is not God. It is a pejorative term for the worship of an idol, a physical object such as a cult image, as a god, or practices believed to verge on worship, such as giving undue honor and regard to created forms other than God.

St. Augustine: Creation came out of nothing.

Apocalypticism: is the religious belief that there will be an apocalypse, a term which originally referred to a revelation of God's will, but now usually refers to belief that the world will come to an end time very soon, even within one's own lifetime. This belief is usually accompanied by the idea that civilization, as we know it, will soon come to a tumultuous end with some sort of catastrophic global event such as war.

Demiurge: is a concept from the Platonic, Neopythagorean, Middle Platonic, and Neoplatonic schools of philosophy for an artisan-like figure responsible for the fashioning and maintenance of the physical universe. The term was subsequently adopted by the Gnostics. Although a fashioner, the demiurge is not necessarily thought of as being the same as the creator figure in the familiar monotheistic sense, because both the demiurge itself plus the material from which the demiurge fashions the universe are considered either uncreated and eternal, or the product of some other being, depending on the system. In Gnosticism the Demiurge, creator of the material world, was not God but the Archon.
The word "demiurge" is an English word from a Latinized form of the Greek δημιουργός, dēmiourgos, literally "public worker", and which was originally a common noun meaning "craftsman" or "artisan", but gradually it came to mean "producer" and eventually "creator".

Nephilim: were the offspring of the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men" according to Genesis 6:4; and giants who inhabited Canaan according to Numbers 13:33. A similar biblical Hebrew word with different vowel-sounds is used in Ezekiel 32:27 to refer to dead Philistine warriors.

Sexism: is prejudice or discrimination based on a person's sex. It usually refers to discrimination against women, although it can also apply to men.

Equivocity(doubtful signification) vs. Univocity(one voice,): “Univocity ” as opposed to its great rivals, equivocity and analogy ” is the key to developing a “philosophy of difference” (Deleuze's term for his project in Difference and Repetition), in which difference would no longer be subordinated to identity.”

-------------------------------------------------
Analogy (simble): is a cognitive process of transferring information or meaning from a particular subject (the analogue or source) to another particular subject (the target), and a linguistic expression corresponding to such a process.
