Talk:Abrahamic religions

message: It's essential to maintain accuracy and objectivity while presenting information. To address the portrayal of Judaism in the article it should reflects scholarly consensus and respects the diversity within Judaism itself.
Firstly, the article's portrayal of Judaism as derivative of Canaanite religions during the Bronze Age oversimplifies the intricate development of Israelite religious thought. While acknowledging historical connections, it's important to emphasize the distinctiveness of Israelite monotheism and its evolution from polytheistic roots to a unique covenantal relationship with Hashem or as you call it here, Yahweh. Scholars recognize Judaism's contributions to ethical monotheism and its enduring impact on world religions.
Secondly, the comparison between Judaism and Christianity, particularly regarding interpretations of Abraham's faith, requires clarification. While Pauline theology indeed emphasizes faith over legalism, it's essential to recognize diverse interpretations within Judaism regarding Abraham's role and the significance of religious law. Judaism's emphasis on mitzvot (commandments) and the covenantal relationship with God remains central to its theological identity, fostering continuity and ethical responsibility within Jewish communities.
Moreover, the article should acknowledge Judaism's response to historical challenges such as the destruction of the Second Temple and the diaspora experience. Judaism's resilience and adaptability, evidenced by the development of Rabbinic Judaism and the preservation of religious traditions, underscore its enduring vitality and relevance in contemporary contexts.
Overall, the portrayal of Judaism in the article should reflect scholarly rigor and sensitivity to diverse perspectives within the Jewish tradition. By providing accurate historical context and acknowledging Judaism's theological complexity and continuity, the encyclopedia entry can contribute to a more nuanced understanding of Jewish history and religious thought.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nycarchitecture212 (talk • contribs) 01:22, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

text: Yup, fundamentalist and very conservative Christians think that mainstream Bible scholarship would be Islamophilic. That's mainly because they didn't have read academic books about the Bible and religion. The mainstream Quran scholarship would be destructive to fundamentalist Islam, and generally speaking, the lives of mainstream scholars of the Quran are endangered by Islamist fanatics, who think the scholars spread the work of apostasy. It is unsafe to practice lower criticism or higher criticism in Islamic countries. Islamists go ballistic when scholars prove there are mistakes in the Quran. If you are a bibliolatrist, mainstream scholarship desecrates your holy book. tgeorgescu (talk)  07:08, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: "That's mainly because they didn't have read academic books about the Bible and religion." Tgeorgescu, I don't think that fundamentalists have the literacy skills required to read books intended for an adult audience. In any case, why would we care what these reactionaries have to say about religious texts? Dimadick (talk) 12:04, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
