The ancient Jews are often credited as being among the first people to develop and practice monotheism, the belief in a single, all-powerful God. This religious innovation significantly influenced the development of subsequent Abrahamic faiths, including Christianity and Islam. Additionally, their emphasis on a covenantal relationship with God and the ethical and moral laws outlined in texts like the Torah laid foundational principles for Western civilization.
