Question 3 • NY-Global History and Geography I

How was Jewish religion incorporated into the foundation of Christianity?

Answer
A
The Christian holidays, Easter and Christmas, were adaptations from Jewish holidays.
B
The Christian symbol of the cross was adopted to represent Jewish belief in the resurrection of Jesus.
C
The Christian Bible included the Torah, which is the first five books of the Old Testament.
D
The Nicene Creed was created to standardize Jewish beliefs and later used to develop Christianity.

Explanation

Christianity began within a Jewish context and adopted Jewish scriptures as part of its sacred writings. The Torah—the first five books of the Old Testament—is included in the Christian Bible. The cross represents Jesus’s crucifixion, while the Nicene Creed was created to define Christian beliefs, not Jewish ones.
