답 힌트:

 

• ontology: [ ɑːn|tɑːlədʒi ] 존재론
• benediction:  축복, (식전·식후의) 감사기도.
• blasphemy: 신성 모독
• syncretism: 싱크리티즘, 제설 혼합주의(여러 다른 종교·철학·사상의 혼합)
• theodicy: 신정론(神正論) ((악의 존재를 신의 섭리로 봄)) [ θiɑ́dəsi ] One of the arguments advanced for theodicy is that humans have only a limited view of life, whereas God sees everything. Theologians and philosophers, grappling with the theodician problem of the existence of evil in a world created by a Perfect Being, have asserted that good would not be recognized without evil.
• pantheism: 범신론, 다신교 The doctrine that the universe, conceived of as a whole, is God. According to pantheism, no God exists, but the combined forces and laws manifested in the existing universe. Since pantheism tends to depersonalize God, identifying the Deity instead with nature, it could accommodate and tolerate the worship of all gods at certain periods in the Roman Empire.
