 In religion, divinity or Godhead is the state of things that are believed to come from a supernatural power or the entity, such as a God, Supreme Being, Creator the entity, or spirits, and art therefore regarded as sacred and holy. Such things are regarded as divine due to their transcendental origins or because their attributes or qualities are superior or supreme relative to things of the earth. Divine things are regarded as eternal and based in truth, while material things are regarded as ephemeral and based in illusion. Such things that may qualify as divine are oppressions, visions, prophecies, miracles, and in some views also the soul, or more general things like resurrection, immortality, grace, and salvation. Otherwise what is or is not divine may be boosely defined, as it is used by different belief systems. The root of the word divine is literally godly from the Latin vias, CF, DAAS, closely related to Greek Zeus, divided in Persian and Deva in Sanskrit but the use varies significantly depending on which deity is being discussed. This article outlines the major distinctions in the conventional use of the terms. For specific related academic terms, see Divinity Academic Discipline or Divine Anglican.
