From the Paper:

"Because Christianity emerged from Judaism, there are many similarities. Of the major world religions, Catholicism and Judaism are the most similar (Kreeft, 1987). Catholics and Jews both believe in one God who is almighty and infinite. Both religions believe in one God who is holy, righteous, and just, as well as loving, forgiving, and merciful. Catholicism and Judaism share the Hebrew Scriptures (the Old Testament) as the authoritative Word of God, although Catholicism includes the New Testament as well. "
