Document Summary

Lesson 3 - discussion board, option 1; respond to lesson resources. One theme i found interesting within the readings from (cid:858)(cid:859)a jewish perspective and judaism: an. Overview(cid:859)" is the difference within judaism, christianity and islam. On many levels, we can see the similarities and differences like hatz e(cid:454)plai(cid:374)ed that (cid:862)while (cid:448)ie(cid:449)s a(cid:396)e ofte(cid:374) de(cid:448)eloped i(cid:374) a dispassionate way, in some or many cases, psychological motives might drive the views(cid:863) (cid:894)shatz. Although, one of the most major similarities that christianity and islam share concerns their view of god. In both christianity and islam, god is considered universal, unlike in. Judaism, where god is considered to be focused on one nation which is the children of israel. Although judais(cid:373) sha(cid:396)es so(cid:373)e (cid:272)o(cid:373)(cid:373)o(cid:374)alities (cid:449)ith isla(cid:373) o(cid:396) (cid:449)ith ch(cid:396)istia(cid:374)it(cid:455), these a(cid:396)e(cid:374)(cid:859)t as significant as those shared between islam and christianity. Which brings me to a questioning that shatz mentioned (cid:862)i(cid:374) a (cid:374)o(cid:374)e(cid:454)(cid:272)lusi(cid:448)ist (cid:448)ie(cid:449), s(cid:449)itching f(cid:396)o(cid:373) o(cid:374)e (cid:396)eligio(cid:374) to a(cid:374)othe(cid:396) should (cid:373)ake little diffe(cid:396)e(cid:374)(cid:272)e.
