    Interrelation In Religion

    • 9 Pages

    Judaism, Islam, and Christianity are often perceived as discordant with one another, providing conflicting perspectives on theology and worship. However, these three faiths are interrelated, even complementary, in terms of tradition, origin, and practice. This interrelation is no more apparent than in the narrative of Abraham and the binding of his son, Isaac/Ishmael, which was first recorded in Genesis 22. All three faiths view this story as significant, however there is a disjunction within the details of the narrative as well as what should be taken from the teachings. This paper will analyze these three faiths, by looking through the lens of Abraham’s story and will discuss how the narrative acts as both a unifying and an alienating force…

    Following the Exodus from Egypt the Israelites wandered the Sinai wilderness for forty years. Not sure of their future they began worshipping the Canaanite Pantheon instead of God and only upon threats from Moses did they stop their worshipping the pagan deities. Substantial amount of evidence from various archaeological excavations throughout the Levant confirm that the Israelites and the Canaanites believed in the same Father-God named El. The Kingdom of Israel, ruled by Jeroboam I, began a religiously divided nation with idols of El's such as the golden calf in the temples located in Dan and at Bethel and said "Here are your gods O Israel.…

    In his book titled The Sabbath, Abraham Joshua Heschel outlines the transcendence of the Sabbath in terms of the personal relationship between Jews and God. Heschel wrote on how the Sabbath stands as a testament to time for the Jewish people, in that they would be able to withdraw themselves from their secular lives, one day a week, to further appreciate the world God has created. He specifically holds an issue with the increasingly materialistic sense of society and memorably notes how things do not hold any significance to any moment, but rather the moment that brings significance to a thing. To take Heshel’s idea regarding significance and to directly relate it to the Sabbath would thus mean that to light candles before the Sabbath or to…

    In the Old Testament, a theme that is widely reflected between people and God is obedience. The relationships found throughout Old Testament were based on people’s obedience towards God’s instruction; probably making it one of the most important relational aspect. According to International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, obedience is defined as, “the supreme test of faith in God and reverence for him” (Obedience).

Instead of ignoring the importance of Old testaments, we need to reinterpret in modern words and absorb the teachings from the Old Testaments.…
