Teotl
Teotl is a central idea of Aztec religion. The Nahuatl term is often translated as "god", but it may have held more abstract aspects of the numinous or divine, akin to the Polynesian concept of Mana.〔Taube and Miller 1993, pp 89. For a lengthy treatment of the subject see Hvidtfeldt, 1958〕 In Pipil mythology Teut (Nawat cognate of Teotl)〔Rafael Lara-Martínez, Rick McCallister. (Glosario cultural Náwat Pipil y Nicarao ). p. 199: tewt, teut, “Dios”; teot, náhuatl teotl “god, dios” (Nicaragua) (). téut, “Dios” (Pacheco ).〕〔Also used for the Christian God in a modern translation of the New Testament by Alan King, (Ne Bibliaj Tik Nawat ), Ne Iyeknawatilis Yojan 1:1 (John 1:1): (Achtu nemik ne palabraj wan ne palabraj nemik itech ne Teut wan Teut ne palabraj ).〕 is known merely as the creator and the father of life.〔Mitología de Cuscatlán, San Salvador, 1919〕 The nature of "Teotl" has been an ongoing discussion between scholars for many years.
Teotl is also a key element in the understanding of the fall of the Aztec empire, because it seems that the Aztec ruler Moctezuma II and the Aztecs in general referred to Cortés and the conquistadors as "Teotl" - it has been widely believed that this means that they believed them to be Gods, but a better understanding of "teotl" might suggest that they were merely seen as "mysterious" and "inexplicable".〔Restall 2001 pp 116-118〕
Whereas in most Nahuatl translations of the Bible and Christian texts, "God" (, Θεός) is translated with the Spanish word ''Dios'',〔Bible.is: Genesis in (Eastern Huasteca Nahuatl ), John in (Eastern Huasteca Nahuatl ), (Central Huasteca Nahuatl ), (Western Huasteca Nahuatl ), (Northern Puebla Nahuatl ), (Southeastern Puebla Nahuatl ), (Highland Puebla Nahuatl ), (Guerrero Nahuatl ), (Northern Oaxaca Nahuatl ), (Tenango Nahuatl ).〕 in modern translations by the Catholic Church in the 21st century, the word ''Teotzin'', which is a combination of ''teotl'' and the reverential suffix ''-tzin'', has been used officially for "God".〔Catoliscopio: ''(Credo en versión Nahuatl )'', 5 March 2013.〕
