has glosseng: Wr-alda is the supreme deity of the Oera Linda Book which is considered by scholars to be a hoax. Described as the All-Father, the word wralda is actually the Old Frisian term for world. Professor Goffe Jensma links this name to 19th century modern theological thought, specifically "the transcendental monistic variant of modernism that was developed and taught at Leiden University by Jan Hendrik Scholten (1811–85)", writing that "The word has at least three different meanings which are equivalent and all three can be read as references to the image of God from Scholten’s modernism."
