(2)(c) (i) Explain, from either Catholic Christianity and Judaism or two Christian traditions, teachings about the origins of the universe.

(3)(c) (i) Explain, from either Catholic Christianity and Judaism or two Christian traditions, teachings about the origins of the universe.
Some Orthodox Jews believe the creation accounts are literal
descriptions of the origins of the universe.
Prayers are said in Orthodox synagogues expressing this belief
‘Blessed be He who spoke and the world existed.’
Other Jewish denominations believe that the creation accounts are
metaphorical stories which shouldn’t be considered as historical
facts.
For all Jews, God is the source of all life and referred to throughout
the Torah as the sole creator.

(ii) Explain, from either Catholic Christianity and Judaism or two Christian traditions, how the Bible is interpreted.
Catholics read the Bible as an inspired text which means that God
worked through human authors to be revealed to human beings.
They also believe that these authors were of course fully human
and therefore limited in their understanding and living in a
particular time and place.
For Catholics, the truth revealed in the Bible needs to be carefully
and authoritatively interpreted by the Church/Magisterium
