Monotheism
Monotheism is the belief in a single god. The Assyrian deportation of the population of the Kingdom of Israel in 722 BCE, and the experience of exile more broadly, contributed to the reconception of the God of Israel as a universal deity not tied to one territory. This development shaped the monotheism of Judaism and the traditions that grew from it.
