Definition of Omniscient (Religion)

To the word omniscient two specific uses are attributed to it in our language. On the one hand, one associated with monotheistic religions such as Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, and that refers to the one who is capable of knowing and knowing everything, including those questions that are probable, the omniscient is capable of knowing them.

It is precisely God to whom only these aforementioned religions attribute the aforementioned quality of being able to know everything, that is, no mortal is capable of presenting it, only his god. It is not in the nature of any human being this ability to know everything, even what is probable and This is precisely because he exceeds his human condition since the same quality is syndicated as inherent to a divinity.

For example, together with omnipotence and omnipresence, omniscience, the quality of omniscient, is attributed to God.

Anyway, the word can be applied in our language in reference to a person but to account for the wisdom that it has about several disciplines and sciences at the same time.

And on the other in theliterature we find the other reference for this concept and that says that omniscient is called the narrator of a story and that as such is capable of knowing everything that people do, feel and think characters of a story. Formally referred to as an omniscient narrator.

Surely more than once, whether in a movie, in a play, or in a book we have met the figure of the narrator.

The narrator, as with the protagonists, has a leading role because he is the one who will tell the adventures and vicissitudes of a story. It can even be a character who at a certain moment, and out of the story in question, becomes its narrator. In this case we would be before a protagonist narrator.
Meanwhile, when the narrator tells the story from the outside, he will be referred to as an observing narrator.

From the narrator we will know what the protagonist thinks, what goes through the head and feelings of the antagonist, among other issues.
