Difference Between Judaism And Catholicism

Research Essay During the research I have done for my research question “What is the difference between Catholicism and Judaism?” I wanted to know what the beliefs of both religions were and what the holy books of both religions were and who were significant figures were in both. The Jewish religion and Catholic religion have a lot in common and so much so it intrigued my curiosity. Both religions are God believing religions but they are separate and very different in many ways. Both religions are based upon their holy book and its teachings.

Judaism’s holy book is the Torah. This book is the first five books of the Old Testament. The Torah’s contents are also called the Pentateuch supposedly written by Moses. Then there is the Catholic
religion which is a religion that had branched off from Judaism. The Bible is the book of the Catholic religion. The bible has a New and an Old Testament. According to different people and to Catholic Bible 101 the Bible has 73 books in the New and Old Testament combined. The religions that came from the Catholic religion have only 66. But the 7 books missing from the others were removed from the Bible. It is strange because The Difference Between Judaism and Christianity by Lawrence Attard-Bezzina Christianity had broken off from Judaism adding several books and new beliefs.
