The bible portraits of God are thus a creative synthesis that draws on many different…

belief system allowed Arabians to establish a singular identity, not unlike the effects of Confucianism on the early people of China, and provided a method of unifying people under the guise of a single morally ordered community.

When discussing Abrahamic religion, it is important to recognise 'monotheism' as a core belief of each religion - which can be broken down into two parts; 'mono', meaning one, and 'theism', meaning the belief in a God or some form of ultimate being. The beliefs of each differentiate slightly, yet are stemmed from the foundations laid by the prophet Abraham, who they believe was the first prophet, and by his descendants.

He has a special relationship between the Jewish people and God. In Christianity, he is the founder of all believers, Jewish or Gentile. This…

The three Abrahamic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam ¬¬¬– all have one thing in common, the nature of monotheism. Judaism innovated the idea of one God about 3000 years ago, with the Israelites. Though it was restricted to the people of Israel, this was the first time a monotheistic religion came into play.
