This article discusses the problem of suicide in monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), focusing on their early existence and considering the original contribution of Christianity. The first part presents the main theses of E. Durkheim on altruistic suicide and the concept of honour. This provides an opportunity to examine the problem of suicide in monotheistic religions from a more comprehensive perspective and recognise a certain specificity of suicide that was absent in altrusitic suicide. The analysis of the problem in relation to the concept of honour is also a valuable starting point for complementary psychological theories. The second part of the article is a more detailed discussion of suicide in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The results provide a better understanding of the origins and nature of suicide in monotheistic religions whilst opening up a discussion on the possibility of suicide prevention.
本文讨论了一神教（犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教）中的自杀问题，重点关注其早期存在，并考虑了基督教的原始贡献。第一部分介绍了 E. Durkheim 的主要论点，即利他主义自杀和荣誉的概念。这为从更全面的角度审视一神教中的自杀问题提供了机会，并认识到利他主义自杀中所缺乏的自杀的某种特殊性。对与荣誉概念有关的问题的分析也是对补充心理学理论的有价值的起点。文章的第二部分更详细地讨论了犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教中的自杀问题。研究结果更好地理解了一神教中自杀的起源和性质，同时也开启了关于预防自杀可能性的讨论。
