| 32/32 Maimonedes formulated what is known as the "13 Principles of Faith", which summarizes Judaism: 1. The existence of God 2. God's unity and indivisibility into elements 3. God's spirituality and incorporeality 4. God's eternity 5. God alone should be the object of worship 6. Revelation through God's prophets 7. The preeminence of Moses among the prophets 8. The Torah that we have today is the one dictated to Moses by God 9. The Torah given by Moses will not be replaced and that nothing may be added or removed from it 10. God's awareness of human actions 11. Reward of good and punishment of evil 12. The coming of the Jewish Messiah 13. The resurrection of the dead

| 31/32. I had no clue what the First Great Awakening was or who participated in it.

| The First Great Awakening was a breakout of several religious revivals during the early 1700s in Colonial times. It had a great effect of introducing slaves to Christianity and emphasized more on personal devotion to God and emotional responses, rather than strict ritual and doctrine. Jonathan Edwards was a staunch preacher most famous for his sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God". Quite a shuttering read, if you wish to read via the link. Of course, Edwards was a Calvinist.
