Although the term is widely attributed to Schelling and Muller, some accessible references, especially to Schelling (whether in translation or not) would seem basic. Perhaps someone might be kind enough, if they have time, to supply these. It is easy to ascertain that Muller used the term widely, but less clear from the article whether and where Schelling did, rather than just alluded to it, and if so, exactly how he defined it.

Need some mention of the role of saints in Catholicism as a way of incorporating polytheistic religions into the explicit monotheism of Christianity. There's more ambiguity in this than some would admit--the Trinity itself is vaguely polytheistic.
There is no reference to monolatry on this page, and in particular no attempt whatsoever to explain to which extent this is synonymous to henotheism, and to which extent the concepts differ. I'd like some professional in history of religion to add this to the article. JoergenB ( talk) 15:01, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
I am not sure that when Max Müller speaks of henotheism he means that "the essence of the deities is unitary, and the deities are nothing but pluralistic manifestations of the same concept of the divine (God)." Although this idea (unity of the gods as personifications of Brahman) does exist in Hinduism, I understood Max Müller to mean simply the possibility of various gods successively adopting a "supreme" position (in some way as can happen with the Egyptian gods). Could we give a primary source (written by Max Müller) where he defines his henotheism to clarify? Ellbekarym ( talk) 20:01, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
Maximus of Tyre wasn't a Christian, therefore he did not obey Christian rules. tgeorgescu ( talk) 19:32, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
