Godhead is a form of the word godhood, and denotes the divine character of the Christian God. Godhead is also a title for God, or the Trinity. Though somewhat archaic, the term survives in modern English because of its use in three places of the Authorized King James Version of the Bible. In that translation, the word was used to translate three different Greek words.
In the later Neoplatonic mystical tradition (in Pseudo-Dionysius, for example), the term θεαρχία thearchia is used.[4] In Mormon theology, the term is used in place of Trinity to refer to God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The substitution reflects the fact that though Mormonism is nontrinitarian, in that the three persons of the Trinity are not considered to have one substance, yet they are considered "one God" in the sense of their united purpose, will, and attributes. See Godhead (Latter Day Saints). This usage is rare within Trinitarian Christianity. [edit] See also[edit] References
