Discuss what Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have in common and how they are different
What will be an ideal response?
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all monotheistic religions, believing in only one god. They also share the same cosmology or a unified picture of the world that there is only one God, the creator of the universe, who is concerned about mankind and will hold humans accountable on the last great day. Judaism and Islam trace their beginning to Abraham. Differences include the name each religion has for its single god; the Christian concept of Jesus as Messiah; Christianity and Judaism practicing monogamy and Islam practicing polygyny. Islam uses the Qur'an as its holy book, while Christians use the Bible and Jews use the Torah.
