Christianity and Judaism

Christianity and Judaism are two major monotheistic religions with a common heritage. Judaism, one of the oldest religions, centers on the belief in one God and follows teachings found in the Hebrew Bible, particularly the Torah. It emphasizes law, ethics, and community. Christianity emerged from Judaism, recognizing Jesus Christ as the Messiah and the Son of God. Christians follow the Bible, including the New Testament, which documents Jesus' life and teachings. Both religions share values like justice and compassion but differ in beliefs about Jesus and salvation. Each has a rich tradition of rituals and community practices.
