Using the story of White Fang to illustrate some points of biblical theology. What does the Hebrew term “elohim” mean? How does that map onto the English word “god,” and how do we understand what a god is? If other “gods” are real, then what about the Most High God? What does it mean to have faith and what does it mean to worship? Also: are Christians actually monotheists? Responding to William Lane Craig’s response to Dr. Swamidass’ question concerning Dr. Michael Heiser’s suggestion that monotheism may not be the best way to understand our relationship to the spiritual world.
