Judaism


Coming away from Asia and polytheistic faiths, we have encountered our first monotheistic faith and into the Middle East, which I truly enjoy learning about but not really the prompt.  Judaism believes in one central God who will bring them out of enslavement and into the Promised Land. Starting with Abraham who discovered the Promise Land by his central God, “Yaweh” the Jewish religion developed through oral Hebrew speaking and the Hebrew Bible. Following the Torah and 10 Commandments Judaism worshipped God to live their life through those two main religious scriptures. After a loss of Jewish political autonomy and being exiled Jewish community started living by strict and rigid rules which effect their lives socially, politically, ant economy; this shows a similar correlation to the strict rules in Legalism only a little less harsh. Judaism went under many different changes throughout time, each change effecting old beliefs and causing changes throughout the society.
