Compare and contrast the teachings in the foundation periods of Hinduism and Judaism
The foundations of both religions will be compared in a timeline format with contrasts and comparisons highlighted. The main difference to be noted even before the timeline comparison is that Judaism is a monotheistic religion in that it believes in one God as creator and ruler of the universe and the lord of human history.
