Abstract The paper intends to discuss Jan Assmann's theses, in particular the concept of 'mosaische Unterscheidung' and his role in the History of religion. Christianity determinated the fall of paganism through a concept of revelation that is the opposite of what can be called natural evidence. In Scripture God is described as a personal God, inaccessible and invisible, he cannot be represented by any kind of image.The concept of idolatry was decisive in breaking from earlier cosmotheism and its system of mutual translatability of gods. Another remark is made on the comparison between biblical monotheism's features and the prospective of Hinduism.
