Document Summary

Judaism, christianity and islam have their moments of discontinuity moments that when something happened there was a tidal shift in being. So to say that judaism is the oldest of the abrahamic faiths is making a claim that judaism some number of years ago was judaism. ~ more thematic than theological~ does not follow schedule on my courses. Judaism christianity and islam are related in some way to set a texts. Christianity relates to the many texts of judaism and islam but in a way that is partially distinctive. One way that christianity is fundamentally different from islam and. Judaism is that the texts from christianity are fundamentally translatable. The earliest christians, or jesus devotees even before the word christian had been invented, read the sacred jewish texts mostly in a translation that had been made a couple 100 years earlier into greek.
