adj. 1. having origins in both Judaism and Christianity; of or pertaining to Christianity; as, the Judeo-Christian tradition. Judeo-Christian (or Judaeo-Christian, sometimes written as Judæo-Christian) is a term used to describe the body of concepts and values which are thought to be held in common by Judaism and Christianity, and typically considered (sometimes along with classical Greco-Roman civilization) a fundamental basis for Western legal codes and moral values. In particular, the term refers to the common Old Testament/Tanakh (which is a basis of both moral traditions, including particularly the Ten Commandments); and implies a common set of values present in the modern Western World.

∙ 11y agoJudaism + Christianity. They are basically the same religion, Judaism was invented first, it's based on religious writings in the Torah (Old Testament), and Christianity is based on Judaism, it has the same writings in The Bible which are in the Torah, but it added the New Testament. Also Islam is a continuation of Christianity, it added more religious writings to the Bible and calls it the Qur'an.
All the three religions worship the same god, called God (Deus in latin) in Christianity and Allah in Islam, all meaning just "god". Judaism has the original name of the God, YHWH, which is transcribed as Yahweh, sometimes misspelled as Jehovah.
The differences are that Judaism don't think Jesus as the Messiah, so they are still waiting a Messiah to come, Christianity thinks Jesus as the Messiah (Christ), who paid the sins of the World, on which Christianity is based, and Islam honours Jesus as a prophet of Allah, but doesn't think that he would have been anything more than a human.

Why do you lie that the Torah is older than a bible?
This question is inflammatory. The word Torah means instruction. The first five books of the JudeoChristian Bible is the Torah. Since it is generally agreed that these same five books are the foundation of both Judaism and Christianity and that these are the eldest books of the Bible, it is not a lie. The JudeoChristian Bible was set as cannon in two stages. The Old Testament (Tanakh to the Jews) was formalized in a continuing process until about 100 AD. The New Testament cannon was not formalized until about 400AD. The Bible as Christians know it was finalized about that time. The Torah is the foundation of both religions and is recognized as the basis of JudeoChristian ethics. Archeological evidence found in the Qumran region, known as the Dead Sea Scrolls, confirm that copies of Torah scrolls were actively being used before the first century.
WHAT IS JudeoChristian God?

Why would they want to ban the Bible from schools?
The United States Constitution states..."Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." This is the first Amendment, contained in the Bill of Rights. While the language seems clear that the United States may not declare an official religion for the country, various Supreme Court rulings have determined what this particular amendment can mean. The "banning" of the JudeoChristian Bible from public schools is an offshoot of the lawsuit brought by Madelyn Murray O'Hare in the 1960's. Ms. O'Hare was an atheist who objected to her son being made to participate in school assemblies when prayer was part of the assembly. Under the First Amendment, she argued that her "religion" did not include prayer to the JudeoChristian God. An offshoot of this decision in her favor was that the JudeoChristian Bible was not allowed because it was a religious document favoring one particular religion. Various school districts have established courses that study the Bible as an historical document, but the public reading of the Bible as a part of a faith ceremony (assemblies, sporting events, ect) is still banned as "religious expression" under the First Amendment. One interesting footnote to history...Ms. O'Hare's son grew up and became a Baptist minister.
Where does Judaism now reside?
Judaism is both a culture and a religion. Just as there are Buddists, Islamists, and Christians all over the world, so there are Jews all over the world. Physically, the city of Jerusalem is the heart of Judaism. Just as Rome is the physical heart of Catholicism, and Medina is the heart of Islam, Jerusalem is the place that Jews remembers in their prayers. The JudeoChristian Bible is full of references to this city, including future prophecies about it.
