Detailed explanation-1: -Jews were monotheists-they believed in and worshipped only one god. This stands out to historians because monotheism was relatively unique in the ancient world. Most ancient societies were polytheistic-they believed in and worshiped multiple gods.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jewish people believe there’s only one God who has established a covenant-or special agreement-with them. Their God communicates to believers through prophets and rewards good deeds while also punishing evil. Most Jews (with the exception of a few groups) believe that their Messiah hasn’t yet come-but will one day.
Detailed explanation-3: -The three religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam readily fit the definition of monotheism, which is to worship one god while denying the existence of other gods. But, the relationship of the three religions is closer than that: They claim to worship the same god.
