pg. 15). Chapter 1 Unlike other religions, Judaism was a religion that sacredly held tradition, customs, and laws by writing them in sacred books and writings. Christianity is also considered to be a “religion of the book.” Many Jews and Christians were illiterate, but that didn’t mean that the books did not affect them. The letters Paul and his later followers wrote to the leaders of Christian communities are what make up most of the New Testament.…
Christians and Jews interacted with each other often into the first century; however competition for converts led to bad blood. In fact, “These conflicts had a negative impact on the writers of certain parts of the New Testament especially the author of the gospel of John which was compiled about this time” (Pawlikowski). The gospel of John makes severeal references of Jews being associated with darkness or with the devil (Pawlikowski). Christian persecution is a reason Jesus is so conflicting for the Jews because Christians have condemned Judaism in his…
Their “scripture principle” became the written Torah and was and still is passed down through the generations. The Christians did adopt the Jewish scriptures but did not take on the traditions of their scripture principal. In some of the first historical events with Christianity refers to the time when Christians were trying to distinguish…

Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy The sacred book of Buddhism is called the Tripitaka called Tipitaka in Pali.…
In many cases, these books repeat certain scripture. They may add information, or leave some out, but they all have the same generalized meaning behind them. One thing that came up in our debate was that scripture being different because of human scripting, disproved the theory of inerrancy. I disagree with this. I think of this problem as pastors on Sunday morning.…
The Bible is made up of 73 books all based on the word of God. The 73 books are divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is written before Christ whereas the New Testament is written after Christ. Together the testaments combine to create the Holy Bible. The Christian faith is based on the readings of the Bible, because it is said that god spoke to the prophets making the Bible a Sacred Scripture.…
Some of the similarities include: that they both believe in the same God, they both believe in a study the Old Testament, and that they both have various divisions in both religions. Some of the differences in the two religions include: Christians believe that their savior (Jesus) has come and died so that they may live a sin free life while Jews believe that their savior has not come yet, both religions have different holidays and do not share any of the same holidays, and in Judaism they have Bat and Bar Mitzvahs while in Christianity they have Baptisms. Despite their similarities and their differences, Christianity owes much of their beliefs to Judaism, and that is what I find so interesting about the two…
The Judaic religion is one of the most ancient in the world. Judaism is rooted in the ancient near-eastern region of Canaan and originated nearly four thousand years ago. Judaism has about 14,000,000 followers. Judaism started with an important man named Abraham. Abraham is sometimes called the father of monotheism, God promised Abraham to give him many descendants.…
Christianity takes all the positive and great aspects from Judaism while improving and omitting all the ideas that did not seem worthy. Also, the main difference between those of the Jewish faith and those of the Christian faith is the concept of how Jesus Christ is god. Jews do not believe God is Jesus, but Christians believe that Jesus is God, and that God is Jesus-for Christians, the two are interchangeable. Jews believe that Jesus Christ is a prophet of God, and recognize him and his teachings, but do not believe he will bring them salvation as Christians do. Another new concept, which Christianity adopted, is the New Testament, which is different and does not belong to Judaism.…
The key similarity between the two is the fact that both Christianity and Islam are founded by central figures: Jesus and Muhammad, respectively. Both Jesus and Muhammad are believed by their followers to be sent by God to lead people toward a life of piety. Also, both religions share some of the same religious figures, such as Abraham, David, etc. However, these religions differ in regards to their theology. Christians believe Jesus to be God in human form, whereas Muslims believe Jesus to simply be another prophet.…
The two works that I am going to compare are Mark’s gospel and John’s Gospel. First off, the gospels all sought to do the same thing, which was to detail and explain the life and death of Christ. The reason for writing four of them is simple. Each writer had his own distinct…
Over the past 2,000 years, an immense difference occurred in both religions which have influenced each other. Moreover, Judaism and Christianity each have separate views of the other. Historically, Christianity and Judaism have a close relationship in which one can compare and contrast their unique ideas and beliefs. To contrast the differences between Christianity and Judaism, one must first examine key individuals who influence major religious values and ideas. Christians believe in one supreme God who is Creator and Lord of everything that exists.…
In Judaism, their source of beliefs is recorded in the Hebrew Bible, which is important in the development of Judaism and can be considered a “sacred history” (Molloy). This book provides a “foundation for the development of rabbinical Judaism … [it] offered a firm basis for Jewish rabbis to offer their midrash of biblical laws and practices” along with the Ten Commandments (Molloy 291). In addition, it contained the special festivals and psalms that are used as prayers. The Torah is the “sacred core of the Hebrew Bible,” it contains teachings and stories regarding creation (Adam and Eve, Noah etc.) (Molloy…
