Greco roman religion and Judaism

Answer 1

The Judeo-Christian perspectives strongly influence Western politics (NOTE THAT THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION IS NOT BASED ON JUDEO-CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY, ONLY INFLUENCED BY IT)

Judeo-Christian philosophy is interpreted as "all humans are equal" and that, in a religious sense, there is one god.

Greco-Roman perspectives pertain to forms of government, such as oligarchy (rule of the rich), democracy (rule of the majority), and republican-democracy (representational democracy).

Answer 3

A:The most obvious difference between Greco-Roman traditions and those of the Jews and Christians is that the Greco-Roman religions were, for the main part, polytheistic, while Judaism was already monotheistic and Christianity followed suit. However, this is not as clear cut as generally assumed - Everett Ferguson (Backgrounds of Early Christianity) says that the Greeks and Romans were moving in the direction of monotheism. Judaism had become aniconic in the seventh century BCE, but Greek and Roman traditions used images of their gods. Christianity sat between the two traditions, having no image of God, but using images of Jesus and eventually of the saints.

The Greco-Roman traditions in general assumed there to be a patron god for each city, something which a monotheistic religion could not offer. However, Christianity came up with the concept of a patron saint for each city.

In more ancient times, both Greek and Jewish tradition taught similar fates for the deceased, with the Greek souls going to hades and the Jewish souls going to sheol, both places of neither joy nor punishment. After the Babylonian Exile, Judaism adopted the concept of heaven as a reward for the righteous and hell as a place of punishment but later Judaism discarded the concept of hell, retaining only heaven. Christians believed in both heaven and hell. In a similar way, Greco-Roman beliefs evolved so that hades became a temporary abode until a decision was made, either to send the shade to Tartarus, the place of punishment, or to the Elysian Fields.

Judaism and Christianity taught high moral principles, while the Roman and Greek state religions considered ethics to be a matter for the secular authorities. However, some of the mystery cults that appeared around the same time as Christianity had a similar emphasis on ethics and even the confession of sins. Ferguson (ibid) says that a person did not normally go to the priest of the local cult for an interpretation of reality or for moral advice, but turned more often to a philosopher to answer these questions. In fact, the religion of many, especially the educated, in Hellenistic and Roman times was philosophy.
