Monotheistic

Monotheistic religions involve one god. On the other hand, polytheistic religions involve many gods. For example, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all monotheistic, since they involve the worship of only one god. On the other hand, religions such as Hinduism and the Ancient Greek pagan religion are polytheistic, since they worship many (more than one) gods.

Answer:

Monotheistic

Step-by-step explanation:

Judaism, monotheistic religion developed among the ancient Hebrews.

It is history that provides the key to an understanding of Judaism, for its primal affirmations appear in early historical narratives. Thus, the Bible reports contemporary events and activities for essentially religious reasons. The biblical authors believed that the divine presence is encountered primarily within history. God’s presence is also experienced within the natural realm, but the more immediate or intimate disclosure occurs in human actions. Although other ancient communities also perceived a divine presence in history, the understanding of the ancient Israelites proved to be the most lasting and influential. It is this particular claim—to have experienced God’s presence in human events—and its subsequent development that is the differentiating factor in Jewish thought.
