The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | | Copyright

Henotheism. A primitive form of faith which recognizes the existence of several gods, but regards one particular god as the deity of the family or tribe; makes him the centre of its worship; and for practical purposes neglects the existence of other gods. Modern scholars commonly hold that the early Hebrew faith took this form.
