This article is about the term "God" in the context of monotheism and henotheism. See
Deity,
god (male deity) or
goddess for details on polytheistic usages. For other uses, see
God (disambiguation)God (IPA English pronunciation: gɑd) most commonly refers to the
deity worshipped by followers of
monotheistic and
monolatrist religions, whom they believe to be the
creator and ruler of the
universe.
Theologians have ascribed a variety of attributes to the various
conceptions of God. The most common among these include
omniscience,
omnipotence,
omnipresence, perfect
goodness, divine
simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. God has also been conceived as being
incorporeal, a personal being, the source of all
moral obligation, and the "greatest conceivable existent". These attributes were all supported to varying degrees by the early
Jewish,
Christian and
Muslim theologian philosophers, including
Augustine of Hippo,
Al-Ghazali, and
Maimonides. Many notable
medieval philosophers developed arguments for the
existence of God, attempting to wrestle with the apparent
contradictions implied by many of these attributes. Philosophers have developed many arguments for and against the
existence of God.
