Ronald Clements explains that henotheism is the exclusive worship of one god, while holding to a theological belief that other gods exist and may be worshipped by other peoples. Clements (1999:248).

Cambridge and Alan E. Lewis states that henotheism is allegiance to one supreme deity while conceding the existence of others. This is also described as monolatry, incipient monotheism and practical theism. Lewis (1996: 321-322)

The far more well-known theological concept of polytheism is related as it is the belief in, and worship of many gods and Blackburn connects polytheism to Hinduism. Blackburn (1996: 292).

It is the belief in many gods and the implied opposite of monotheism. Shorter (1999: 454). Therefore, theologically and philosophically, henotheism is under the umbrella of polytheism.

Biblical, New Testament, trinitarian theology views the trinity as three distinctions or persons that are equally eternal God in nature and essence (Hebrews 1, Matthew 28, Acts 5 as examples).
