Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Added: 11a12,13

: See the entry on Judaism, and follow the link to Jewish eschatology for a description of the Jewish view of moshiach (the messiah).

Added: 13a16,18

: What does your Church say that Jews believe? Judaism has no firm theological tenets on this point at all; there is no official Jewish belief. There is a legend that the prophet Elijah will return to announce the coming of the messiah. However, this legend is not in any of the various creeds that were written to explain the Jewish principles of faith. RK
