Where is Judaism's early history preserved?

• A. In the Old Testament.
• B. In the New Testament.
• C. In the Vedas.
• D. In the Quran.

Answer: (A)

Judaism's early history is preserved in the Hebrew Bible, which Christians refer to as the Old Testament. This collection contains the foundational stories and events of the Jewish people—the patriarchs, the exodus from Egypt, the giving of the Law at Sinai, and the formation and history of Israel and Judah. The New Testament covers Christian writings about Jesus and the early church, not the earlier Jewish history. The Vedas are Hindu scriptures, and the Quran is Islamic scripture. So the Old Testament is the place where Judaism’s earliest historical narratives are found.
