How are Judaism and monotheism related?
Monotheism and Judaism are often considered closely associated, almost as synonyms, but Judaism and its successor religions such as Christianity and Islam are not the only monotheistic religions. Arnold Toynbee (A Study of History, volume 1) says that in very ancient times, the Minoan civilisation is believed to have been monotheistic in its worship of a single goddess. Clearly the gender of the Minoan goddess distinguishes this religion from Jewish tradition.Judaism evolved from the early Hebrew religion, which was, surprisingly, polytheistic at least until after the end of the early monarchic period and probably until the time of the Babylonian Exile. Mark S. Smith (The Early History of God) says that according to the available evidence, the Hebrew religion in its earliest form did not contrast markedly with the religions of its Levantine neighbours in either number or configuration of deities. Unlike Christianity, modern Judaism is considered strongly monotheistic in that there is no Trinity and no divine Son. Thus it is appropriate to say that Judaism is now strongly monotheistic but that it was not the first or only monotheistic religion.Judaism is a monotheistic religion, and possibly the first. The existence of Judaism led to the rise of Christianity and later Islam.

How did the religions of Judaism ad Zoroastrianism differ during the rise of early civilizations?
Judaism, emerging in the ancient Near East, emphasized a covenant relationship with a singular, all-powerful God, focusing on ethical monotheism and the importance of law as outlined in the Torah. In contrast, Zoroastrianism, which developed in Persia, centered on dualism, positing a cosmic struggle between the benevolent deity Ahura Mazda and the malevolent spirit Angra Mainyu, along with concepts of judgment and the afterlife. While Judaism's practices were community-oriented and tied to land and people, Zoroastrianism introduced ideas of individual morality and cosmic order. These foundational differences shaped their respective worldviews and societal structures during the rise of early civilizations.
Why is judaism considered a major world religion?
Judaism gave rise to a number of different religious movements. Christianity is the most prominent religious movement that came out of Judaism, but the primary text of Islam is also based off of the scriptures of both Judaism and Christianity. In addition to textual similarities, Islam also shares certain practices with Judaism, such as cleanliness and dietary laws. It should be noted, however, that modern Judaism differs greatly from Biblical Judaism, presently having three main sects and a number of other sub-sects. The Baha'i faith also draws somewhat from Judaism (particularly the messianic aspects), as it does from most major world religions.
