The title Nom de Dieu refers to the initial ban within monotheism on uttering or portraying God. Worshipping the one, true God was always accompanied by criticising false gods. Only God is God, ‘I am who I am’, he makes himself known in the Old Testament. Therefore, we should distrust anything that presents itself as divine and guard against making false images of God and worshipping them. Christianity was less dismissive of making (religious) images than Judaism and Islam due to the doctrine of the incarnation. Because God in the form of Christ became a flesh-and-blood man, people were allowed to portray him as a mortal being and worship him in impermanent images.
