CLEP Western Civilization Test Questions

Answer - B - The innovation of monotheism is most associated with the ancient Hebrew civilization.

Key Takeaway: The belief in only one deity, monotheism, is the biggest and greatest contribution of the ancient Hebrews. This belief ultimately gave birth to the Judeo-Christian tradition, which is still a stalwart of Western culture. Although Zoroastrianism, a dualistic faith, may have also embraced monotheism, it was never as deeply as Judaism did.
