Eastern Philosophy: Judaism

Introduction

The interesting facts about Judaism are based on its uniqueness. Particularly, it is a well known fact that the major world religions are also the only monotheistic religions in the world: Judaism; Christianity and Islam. Further increasing the degree of uniqueness is the fact that all the patriarchs, judges and prophets in the Old Testament are primordially discussed as having participated in the foundation and establishment of Judaism. Specifically, Abraham is believed among Christian and Judaism scholars and believers to be the founder of Judaism. Judaism is the common parent to Christianity and Islam, so that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all collectively known as Abrahamic religions (Billington, 2007 p 75).

Three Interesting Facts about the Subject

Apart from these above, there are other interesting facts about Judaism. First, contrary to what its modern day adherents think, Judaism comprises both the legal and the ritual elements. While the Orthodox Jew as an adherent of Judaism still celebrates the Tanakh [The Torah and the Prophets] as the very corpora containing God’s revelation and decrees or statutes to live by, the same has forgotten that right at the institution of Judaism, the ritual element was of decisive importance.
