Where & How Does This Faith Perspective Originate?
Judaism originated in 2000 B.C.E. in Canaan, which is now Israel ad Palestinian. This faith perspective is based on the patriarchal narratives in the Hebrew Bible, accordingly tracing the birth of their nation. Along with this text, the origin is associated with
Abraham, who was nomadic herder that entered a unconditional covenant with God, as he is promised to be the father of a great nation, be given a good land, and in return nothing is expected. Founder & Followers:
Judaism was founded by Abraham, father of faith. He was promised by God to be the father of a great nation, and be given a good land, and in return nothing is expected, also known as the divine covenant. Abraham leaves his home in search of this unseen land and promise, commonly referred to as faith. The combination of divine covenant and faith is the basis for the human divine relationship. He encounters challenges: age and inability to trust promise. Abraham's family develops the followers through the family line with Isaac,
Jacob, and Jacob's 12 sons who become the 2 tribes of Israel. The favorite son was Moses, who had presented by God on the Mount Sinai, "The Law." Israelites continued the religion, they faced bloody battles, and in th end they create a government with checks and balances. Major Writings (Scriptures):
The Jewish Bible, Tanakh is made of 39 books, which consists of law (Torah), history, poetry, wisdom, songs, and prophesy.

Ritual Formation:
Jews worship one God, as the faith is monotheistic, and God's name cannot be spoken, nor can he be seen as he appears in a vision of smoke. The Shabbat is a twenty-five hour observance which includes lighting and blessing of candles at home, and having service along with a festive family meal. Jews also oversee the Jewish New Year, and the Day of
Atonement. On a daily basis they Jews conduct three devotional services, one in the morning, afternoon, and evening, in which they recite, it is ideal to perform these prayers in a synagogue.

Judaism, the religion of the Jews, is one of the oldest religions in the world. Judaism, in fact, is the oldest of the three major religions that believe in a single God. The other two, Christianity and Islam, have been strongly influenced by Judaism, which is a big part of western civilization today. In the beginning, Jews were a tribe, a band of nomads, more than likely shepherds that may have died out if they would have remained merely shepherds. Jews were one of many “nations” to be found in the ancient Near East.

Judaism was formed around 2000 B.C.E. when Abraham, a shepherd from Canaan, received the word and blessings of God (“Judaism Origins” 1). God told Abraham that he would bless him and his followers, and would ordain him as the leader of a great Jewish nation (Morris and Brown, 9). Jews believe that Abraham and other prophets, such as Moses, Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, were selected by God to deliver his message and teaching to others (Morrison and Brown, 10). Jacob, the grandson of Abraham, fathers 12 sons who become the head of the twelve tribes of Israel (“Judaism Origins,” 2). Later, Moses, a prophet of the Lord, received Gods law in the form of the Thirteen Principles of Faith and ...
Torah was the second force of Judaism which believed in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, which was studied and practiced by the Sadducees. The Sadducees were a group that did not believe in judgment or the resurrection, they also did not believe in angels or demons. The Jewish monotheism believes in One God which is the creator of the world. The temple was destroyed because to the things that was going on that
"I promise to know neither country nor creed, but to serve all justly and impartially."
On the other hand, Christianity traces its origin from Jesus Christ from whom the disciples, at Antioch, were first called Christians due to their manner of living, which was like Jesus Christ’s. Both Christians and Jews believe in one God who is called Jehovah; however, the point of divergence is that while Christians believe in the trinity (that is, God is one substance but three persons in one namely the Father, Son and Holy Spirit), the Jews believe in God being just one substance one
Judaism is one of the most ancient religions in the world. Abraham, his descendants, and Moses are believed to have been the founders. According to Jewish beliefs until Abraham man worshiped many Gods. The story begins with Abraham and his wife Sarah trying to conceive a child. When Abraham was 99 and Sarah 90 God came to Abraham and told him they would have a son. After the child was born God again came to Abraham and tested his beliefs by asking him to sacrifice his only son Isaac. Isaac willingly went with Abraham to be sacrificed. Before Abraham could sacrifice Isaac God sent an angel down to stop him. As a reward for his faith God made a covenant with Abraham that he and his descendants would be protected as long as they continued to show faith in him and live a life that was wholesome. Also from this it is said God blessed Abraham with many children. His son Isaac had two sons Jacob and Esau, Jacob who changes his name to Israel had twelve sons. Israel’s had twelve sons they are the “12 tribes of Israel” and their descendants are later known as the Israelites also called Hebrews.
Althoughthe two religions share some of the same beliefs, there are vital differences between the two. Judaism is called the religion of the Jews and was the first faith to believe in one God. Christianity then followed that belief. Both religions are based on monotheism (that there is only one God).
What's he that wishes so? My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin. 1f we are marked to die, we are enow to do our country loss; and if to live, the fewer men, the greater share of honor. God's will! I pray thee wish not one man more.

In Judaism, the holy book was known as the Torah. It is comprised of the five books in the bible. Human beings had an obligation to honor the holy text and serve God by practicing what was stated in the bible. However, in Christianity, the holy text is based on both the Old and New Testament. This bible consisted of teachings and life of Jesus. Lastly, for the Islam religion, their holy text was the Quran. The bible was inspired by God and gave many people inspiration and guidance in their lives. Thus, many people will apply what was stated in the bible to their lives to live righteously.
