The term derives from the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel, Judah. The Judaism of the Bible extends to the year 70 AD The rabbinical starts from that year and the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans. During this period emerge as schools and teachers Yabna Gamaliel II. The reflection on the Torah or Law, that is, the Pentateuch, became a center of religious life to be destroyed the temple and finally disappear the priesthood. It encodes the Talmud and interpretative literature emerges as "midrash" and "Mishnah."
medieval Judaism inherited the Babylonian and flourishes in various academic disciplines instigated by the Muslim advance. Modern Judaism, ie the last five centuries, culminating with the return to Israel.
Jewish doctrine is monotheistic and antitrinitarian. Its main emphasis lies in normative Judaism in Torah. Judaism was divided before the coming of Christ. These divisions were the Pharisees, Sadducees and Essenes ®. A nationalist sector bore the name of zealots. In the Middle Ages could not absorb the ® Karaites, but more recently emerged liberal groups, conservative and reformed to make concessions to the environment and historical change.
The Orthodox are kept as close to the Jews of earlier times. These last enjoyed great privileges in Israel. In addition to compliance with the law and the practice of circumcision, the Jews maintained their messianic expectation, ie that He will establish His perfect government on earth through the Messiah.
In the process of development of his thought, a huge Jewish sector has been identified with liberalism and even more rampant secularism. A large number Jews married to Gentiles. In fact, only a minority of worship. Places of worship are called synagogues, usually led by rabbis, teachers of religion.
