18. ‘‘The fundamental question is that of knowing precisely what it means for there to be a
    single God. What does the ‘mono’ in ‘monotheism’ mean? Here Paul confronts—but also renews
    the terms of—the formidable question of the One. His genuinely revolutionary conviction is that
    the sign of the One is the ‘for all,’ or the ‘without exception.’That there is but a single God must be
    understood not as a philosophical speculation concerning substance or the supreme being, but on
    the basis of a structure of address. The One is that which inscribes no difference in the subjects to
    which it addresses itself ’’ (ibid., 76).
