Monotheism and the Divine Council

In conservative theological circles, the term divine primarily refers to God (the Trinity or the Godhead) as the ultimate, supernatural reality. But in historical usage, the term can be used to describe that which proceeds from God (like Jesus’s nature or the Holy Spirit’s work) or, in biblical contexts, figures in God's heavenly council (angels, etc.) as “divine” or “sons of God,” though these beings are clearly not God Himself. Divinity, broadly speaking, then, denotes something of God’s nature, essence, or involvement in his nature or essence, distinguishing it from mere human goodness or the gods of other faiths, while still acknowledging divine attributes in created beings, such as angels and divinized humans.
