Resemblance characteristic: Judaism Concept of ‘ultimate reality’ Judaism is regarded as the earliest form of monotheistic religion. Through Judaism, the revelation of God has been realized courtesy of the Jews. The various religions of the world offer diverging meanings of Ultimate Reality, in line with the Judaism version (Johnson, 1988). The concept of Ultimate Reality revolves around the personal God. This image of a central God occupies a central position in such major religions as Islam, Christianity, Judaism, as well as Hinduism with its theistic traditions. Moreover, the concept of Ultimate Reality is often viewed at as an ‘impersonal transcendent being’. In this regard, the Ultimate Reality becomes the ‘ultimate source’ of all forms of existence (Corrigan, 2006). In the Hindu traditions, this concept is well exhibited in Brahman. On the other hand, the Chinese practices Tao, or what is known as Primal Unity. On their part, the Christians believe in God’s philosophical image; that of a Being who is unmoved (Nigosian, 2007). There is also the Suchness concept that is normally practiced by the Buddhists, and which bears a lot of resemblance to the ‘Ultimate Reality’ concept of Judaism. According to the Atman concept of the Hindu religion, the Ultimate Reality image is depicted as being immanent for each individual. Why Ultimate Reality across the eight religions? In Judaism, just like in both Christianity and Islam, the ultimate reality concept holds that there exists one God. All the eight religions of the world; Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Confucianism and Taoism talks of a ‘supreme being’, albeit in a different description. Nevertheless, the description tends to bear a lot of resemblance across the eight religions (Nigosian, 2007). To the Hindus, Brahman is the ultimate reality. Brahman is thus seen as an indivisible, infinite, incorporeal, of pure consciousness as well as all-pervading. Not only is Brahmin the source of all awareness, he is as the source of bliss and awareness. The Taoism religion talks of an Ultimate Reality that is impersonal. Additionally, the Ultimate Reality is often viewed at as the chief creator, as well as the universe’s eternal truth. Tao, the indisputable and rigid principles of Taoism is taken as the foundation of multiplicity, as well as the desire of all life forms. Conversely, moral law is taken as the universe’s supreme principle with regard to the Confucianism religion. This universal principle tends to be eternal, omnipresent and hidden. Although Judaism is regarded as the world’s oldest monotheistic religion, its traditions however are even today widely practiced (Corrigan, 1998). In line with this, the Ultimate Reality concept of Judaism has widely been borrowed by other religions. In effect, this has had an impact on the ethics and principles of such other major religions as Islam and Christianity. Historical backgrounds From a historical perspective, the Judaism religion has hinged upon a belief in ‘divine revelation’, as well as the acceptance of both the oral and written Torah. This is largely taken as the basic foundation belief of Judaism. Christianity, just like Islam and Judaism is usually categorized as an ‘Abrahamic religion’.
