Judaism, Islam, & Christianity

Judaism, Christianity, & Islam are major religions practiced in Europe. Followers of each practice monotheism, a belief in one god. What else do they have in common?

All three believe in one god (monotheistic). They all started in Southwest Asia. They can trace their roots to Abraham as the father of their faith. Jerusalem is the holiest city in the world for Jews and Christians, and the third holiest city for Muslims. All three have an important messenger and book of teachings.

Judaism is the religion of Jews. It was founded by Abraham around 2000 BCE. Jews believe that God gave Moses the Ten Commandments. The Jewish holy book is the Torah, which is the oral and written laws of the Jews.

Jews believe that they descended from Abraham and Sarah, the first people to worship Yahweh (God). Abraham lived at least 3,700 years ago in what is now Iraq.

Abraham & Sarah The Torah

Jews worship in synagogues and temples. They believe that a messiah (savior) will lead them to the Promised Land. “What is hateful to you, do not to your neighbor.” How do you feel about this?
