From the Paper:

"Evaluating Brahman as the ultimate symbol in Hinduism requires studying Upanishadic literature, which explored the concept of a unitary or single divinity, power or principle. This concept originated very early in human civilization, despite the fact that the different religious traditions and faiths which emerged and developed early in human history appeared on the surface to present incompatible interpretations of the divine creative force most people instinctively believed in. But historians, anthropologists, sociologists, and religious scholars who have studied ancient religions have concluded that these conflicting interpretations of the divine force were basically just different expressions of the same fundamental idea."
