This Element examines aspects of monotheism and hope.
Distinguishing monotheism from various forms of nontheistic
religions, it explores how God transcends the terms used to
describe the religious ultimate. The discussion then turns to the
nature of hope and examines how the concept has been used by
Augustine, Aquinas, Kierkegaard, and Moltmann, among others. The
Christian tradition to which these monotheists belong associates
hope and faith with love. In the final section, Wainwright shows
the varieties of this kind of love in Islam, Christianity, and
theistic Hinduism, and defends the sort of love valorized by them
against some charges against it. He examines why the loves prized
in these traditions are imperfect because their adherents
invariably believe that the love that they cherish is superior to
that cherished by others.
