Jesus, the son of God, king of Jews, most revered by Christians

The book is amazing. It went from Naaz Arc to Abraham and his children. The mythology related to Israel, Romans and Middle East.

Adam and Eve, the first humans were cast out of Eden, or Paradise, for eating the forbidden fruit. In Jewish and Christian traditions, this is thought to be the reason. However, in Islamic lore, Allah is ever merciful and forgives them. But still, they our cast out because eating initiates digestion and results in excrement, which makes paradise impure.

Abrahamic religions show a very clear difference from Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. While Hindus believe in the concept of birth and rebirth, believers of Abrahamic faiths say that there is only one life which must be lived in accordance with gods word.

Right now, I am reading the introduction of this book. Jewish, Islamic and Christian lore has common root. Hence, they are commonly referred to as Abrahamic religions. Judaism started 4000 years ago, Christianity 2000 years ago and Islam 1400 years ago.
