Home›Abrahamic (Monotheistic)›ScripturesBrowse ByScripturesThis page groups religions by their foundational sacred text. Wikipedia identifies the Torah as Judaism's foundational text, "part of the larger text known as the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible," while Islam is "based on the Quran, one of the holy books considered by Muslims to be revealed by God." Browsing by scripture lets a visitor see which religions share a textual root and which stand on an entirely separate canon.FactsLearn MoreScripturesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOverviewWhat Defines This GroupingWell-attestedTraditions that trace their descent from the covenant with Abraham and hold that there is one transcendent God who acts in history and addresses humanity through prophets and revealed scripture. What each of them holds Abraham to be differs sharply. 2StatusStanding as a Comparative CategoryWell-attestedA standard family grouping. The label marks a shared ancestry, a shared cast of figures and a shared moral vocabulary; it does not mark a shared theology, and the traditions divide over who the final prophet or messiah is. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedReligions 1Learn MoreThe Abrahamic monotheisms This group gathers the Abrahamic religions, the monotheistic traditions that trace their spiritual descent to the patriarch Abraham and share a common Near Eastern root, a linear view of history, and belief in one transcendent God who reveals a moral law through prophets and scripture. The browser will find Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the three great Abrahamic faiths, together with related traditions that share this heritage. The entries describe each religion's scriptures, beliefs and history in its own terms, noting both the deep family resemblance and the real theological differences that divide them.ScripturesFilter Results96 entriesCanonical StatusAllApocryphal (1)Apocryphal (8)Apocryphal (2)Canonical (1)Canonical (2)Canonical (1)Canonical (9)Canonical (1)Canonical (1)Canonical (Tanakh) (1)Deuterocanonical (7)Deuterocanonical (9)Hadith (1)Hadith (3)Hadith (2)Hadith (1)Non-canonical (14)Non-canonical (2)Non-canonical (1)Non-canonical (10)Non-canonical (1)Pseudepigraphal (2)Talmudic (1)Era of Composition End YearAll175 BCE (1)150 BCE (1)100 BCE (7)50 BCE (1)1 BCE (1)100 (4)107 (1)135 (1)140 (2)150 (1)167 (1)170 (2)175 (1)180 (2)190 (1)200 (2)240 (1)270 (1)300 (1)383 (1)500 (2)800 (2)884 (1)900 (1)950 (1)1000 (3)1034 (1)1400 (1)1611 (1)1835 (1)1848 (1)1850 (1)1858 (1)1861 (1)1873 (1)Era of Composition Start YearAll1200 BCE (1)350 BCE (1)300 BCE (2)225 BCE (1)200 BCE (4)160 BCE (1)150 BCE (1)124 BCE (1)100 BCE (2)1 (2)60 (1)70 (2)90 (1)100 (2)101 (1)107 (1)120 (1)130 (2)134 (1)140 (1)145 (1)200 (2)301 (1)350 (1)500 (1)601 (1)701 (2)801 (1)864 (1)901 (3)1001 (1)1301 (1)1604 (1)1830 (1)1835 (1)1847 (1)1848 (1)1858 (1)1861 (1)1873 (1)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (17)Historicity debated (15)LanguageAllArabic and Persian (1)Aramaic (6)Biblical Hebrew (10)Classical Arabic (10)Coptic (6)English (3)Geez (1)Gothic (1)Koine Greek (24)Ottoman Turkish (1)Persian (3)Literary FormAllAphorism collection (1)Apocalypse (2)Chronicle (5)Commentary (2)Cosmogony / creation myth (1)Didactic narrative / novella (6)Epistle / letter (6)Gospel (6)Hymn collection (1)Law code (4)Manual (1)Philosophical dialogue (1)Philosophical treatise (7)Text collection / anthology (12)Wisdom literature (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompare1 EsdrasScriptures1 entry2 EsdrasScriptures1 entry3 MaccabeesScriptures1 entry4 MaccabeesScriptures1 entryActs of PilateScriptures1 entryActs of ThomasScriptures1 entryAdditions to DanielScriptures1 entryAdditions to EstherScriptures1 entryAl-IstibsarScriptures1 entryAl-MuwattaScriptures1 entryThe ApocryphaScriptures1 entryApocryphon of JohnScriptures1 entryThe BayanScriptures1 entryThe BibleScriptures1 entryBook of BaruchScriptures1 entryBook of Enoch (1 Enoch)Scriptures1 entryBook of JubileesScriptures1 entryBook of JudithScriptures1 entryBook of MormonScriptures1 entryBook of TobitScriptures1 entryBooks of the MaccabeesScriptures1 entryBuyrukScriptures1 entryCommunity RuleScriptures1 entryDa'a'im al-IslamScriptures1 entryDala'il-i-Sab'ih (Seven Proofs)Scriptures1 entryDidacheScriptures1 entryDoctrine and CovenantsScriptures1 entryEpistle of BarnabasScriptures1 entryEpistle to DiognetusScriptures1 entryEpistles of WisdomScriptures1 entryFirst ClementScriptures1 entryGemaraScriptures1 entryGenesis ApocryphonScriptures1 entryGospel of JudasScriptures1 entryGospel of MaryScriptures1 entryGospel of PeterScriptures1 entryGospel of PhilipScriptures1 entryGospel of ThomasScriptures1 entryGospel of TruthScriptures1 entryGothic BibleScriptures1 entryHadithScriptures1 entryThe Hidden WordsScriptures1 entryHodayot (Thanksgiving Hymns)Scriptures1 entryInfancy Gospel of JamesScriptures1 entryJami' al-Rabi'Scriptures1 entryJami at-TirmidhiScriptures1 entryKebra NagastScriptures2 entriesKing James VersionScriptures2 entriesKitab al-KafiScriptures1 entryKitab-i-AqdasScriptures1 entryKitab-i-IqanScriptures1 entryLetter of JeremiahScriptures1 entryLetter of Polycarp to the PhilippiansScriptures1 entryLetters of Ignatius of AntiochScriptures1 entryMan La Yahduruhu al-FaqihScriptures1 entryMartyrdom of PolycarpScriptures1 entryMasoretic TextScriptures1 entryMemar MarqahScriptures1 entryMidrashScriptures1 entryMishnahScriptures1 entryMusnad al-Imam ZaydScriptures1 entryNag Hammadi LibraryScriptures1 entryNew TestamentScriptures1 entryOdes of SolomonScriptures1 entryOral TorahScriptures1 entryPanj Sha'n (Five Grades)Scriptures1 entryPearl of Great PriceScriptures1 entryPesher Habakkuk (Habakkuk Commentary)Scriptures1 entryPeshittaScriptures1 entryPirkei AvotScriptures1 entryPistis SophiaScriptures1 entryPrayer of ManassehScriptures1 entryPsalm 151Scriptures1 entryThe QuranScriptures1 entrySahih al-BukhariScriptures1 entrySahih MuslimScriptures1 entrySamaritan Book of Joshua (Chronicle)Scriptures1 entrySamaritan PentateuchScriptures1 entryScience and Health with Key to the ScripturesScriptures1 entrySeptuagintScriptures1 entryShepherd of HermasScriptures1 entrySunan Abu DawudScriptures1 entrySunan an-Nasa'iScriptures1 entrySunan Ibn MajahScriptures1 entryTahdhib al-AhkamScriptures1 entryTalmudScriptures1 entryTanakhScriptures1 entryTargumsScriptures1 entryTemple ScrollScriptures1 entryTestament of the Twelve PatriarchsScriptures2 entriesTorahScriptures1 entryToseftaScriptures1 entryVulgateScriptures1 entryWar ScrollScriptures1 entryWisdom of SirachScriptures1 entryWisdom of SolomonScriptures1 entrySources1.
