History is the creation of the scholar s imagination j. z. Originally tied in with agriculture and the seasons. Being jewish: can be a cultural, ethnic categorization, not racial. Monotheism: one god, monolotry: asking people to believe in only one god, while acknowledging that the others exist. God s guidance: scriptures, can be the hebrew bible. Specifically the 5 books of moses: talmud and midrash. Revelation: some kind of transmition of information. The prophet is the one who receives the messages: think of these stories as god participating in history, they are different every time, otherwise people wouldn t listen. Not point for god(s) to repeat themselves: prophets moses. From academic point of view, there is no evidence that they existed. Might be punishments, but eventually one will get a second chance. Not referred to as an old testament : polemics: showing your side to be right, and the other to be wrong.
