Judaism, Christianity, & Islam
MONOTHEISM
Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam are major faiths that are
examples of monotheism, or
belief in one supreme god.
I. JUDAISM
First practiced by a small
group of people in Southwest
Asia called the Israelites.
Founded by Abraham around
2000 BC.
Followers today are known as
Jews and there are about 15
million worldwide.
Holy book is the Torah.
Jewish Beliefs:
Believe that they descended from
Abraham and Sarah, the first people
to worship Yahweh (God).
Abraham lived at least 3,700 years ago in
what is now Iraq.
Jerusalem, Israel
Diaspora
Over the centuries, the Jews
would be conquered and forced to
leave their homeland many times.
Eventually, they spread to countries
in many parts of the world.
Scattering of the Jews = Diaspora.
In many areas, the Jews were
treated cruelly…
European Jews were nearly wiped
out by Hitler and Nazi Germany
Jewish Diaspora
Holy Days
Passover: festival that retells the
story of the Israelites fleeing
Egypt.
Rosh Hashanah: Jewish New
Year’s Day.
Yom Kippur: known as the Day
of Atonement. People fast (go
without food) and pray on this day.
II. Christianity
Arose from Judaism in Southwest
Asia.
A Jew named Jesus began
preaching in what today is Israel,
the West Bank, and Jordan
around 30 AD.
Some Jews greeted him as the
messiah, or savior, who would
deliver them from Roman
persecution.
Christianity
Followers of Jesus are called
Christians.
The holy book of the Christians is
the Bible; stories about Jesus
became the New Testament.
There are about 2.1 billion
followers worldwide.
Christianity
Beliefs are based on the
teachings of Jesus:
love of God and others,
a regard for justice,
a belief that Jesus is the Son of
God
Divided into 3 major groups:
Eastern Orthodox, Roman
Catholic, & Protestant
Practiced in most parts of the
world today
Holy Days
Christmas: Jesus’ birthday.
Good Friday: day Jesus was
crucified.
Easter: most important day of
Christian calendar; believed to
be the day that Jesus rose
from the dead.
III. ISLAM
Began around 610 AD in Southwest
Asia.
In Arabic, Islam means “surrender” to
the will of Allah (God).
Followers of Islam are called Muslims,
and the founder is Muhammad.
Believe that Muhammad is the last and
greatest prophet of Islam, which
included Abraham & Jesus.
Two letters written by
Muhammad…so old!
Muhammad’s swords
Muhammad’s hat,
robe, and staff
A piece of Muhammad’s hair!
One of Muhammad’s sandals
The Green Dome in Madinah
Muhammad’s grave
lies under the Green
Dome. (Above is his
casket.)
Islam
Is the main religion of the
Middle East, North Africa, &
Asia
Two largest groups of Muslims
are the Sunnis and the Shiites
The Sunnis account for 90% of
the world’s Muslims
Number of followers is growing
at a rapid rate; faster than the
other 2 religions
1.3 billion followers worldwide
The Koran
The Muslim holy book is the
Koran.
Describes the Five Pillars of
Faith (obligations all Muslims
must fulfill).
Five Pillars of Faith:
The main duties of Muslims:
Prayer,
Giving to charity,
Belief in and submission to one God
(Allah),
Fasting during the month of Ramadan,
and a trip to Mecca once in a lifetime.
The Grand Mosque in

  • 2. MONOTHEISM Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are major faiths that are examples of monotheism, or belief in one supreme god.
  • 3. I. JUDAISM First practiced by a small group of people in Southwest Asia called the Israelites. Founded by Abraham around 2000 BC. Followers today are known as Jews and there are about 15 million worldwide. Holy book is the Torah.
  • 4. Jewish Beliefs: Believe that they descended from Abraham and Sarah, the first people to worship Yahweh (God). Abraham lived at least 3,700 years ago in what is now Iraq.
  • 6. Diaspora Over the centuries, the Jews would be conquered and forced to leave their homeland many times. Eventually, they spread to countries in many parts of the world. Scattering of the Jews = Diaspora. In many areas, the Jews were treated cruelly… European Jews were nearly wiped out by Hitler and Nazi Germany
  • 8. Holy Days Passover: festival that retells the story of the Israelites fleeing Egypt. Rosh Hashanah: Jewish New Year’s Day. Yom Kippur: known as the Day of Atonement. People fast (go without food) and pray on this day.
  • 9. II. Christianity Arose from Judaism in Southwest Asia. A Jew named Jesus began preaching in what today is Israel, the West Bank, and Jordan around 30 AD. Some Jews greeted him as the messiah, or savior, who would deliver them from Roman persecution.
  • 10. Christianity Followers of Jesus are called Christians. The holy book of the Christians is the Bible; stories about Jesus became the New Testament. There are about 2.1 billion followers worldwide.
  • 11. Christianity Beliefs are based on the teachings of Jesus: love of God and others, a regard for justice, a belief that Jesus is the Son of God Divided into 3 major groups: Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, & Protestant Practiced in most parts of the world today
