Answer 1
Judeo-Christianity is not a unified religion. "Judeo-Christian Ethics" is used by many Christians as an adjective to give the longevity of the Jewish experience to buttress much of their religious ideology which they may or may not share with Jews. Judaism came into existence between 4000 and 3200 years ago with the Divine Revelations to Abraham and Moses and Christianity came into existence between 2000 and 1700 years ago when the Apostles of Jesus recognized his Divinity and Sacrifice for Humanity.
Some of the actual shared beliefs of Judaism and Christianity include the idea that the directives of how to live in the world already exist because of God and that a person should come into compliance with those directives. This leads to a vast number of smaller points:
- The Law is divinely given and therefore people must bend to fit Divine precepts (as opposed to laws being malleable to human will).
- Faith is given freely on account of love and hope.
- The only or best way to know the truths of this world is through Divine Revelation. (It depends on the particular strain of Judaism or Christianity as to whether science is wholly excluded.)
- Every man and woman must contribute to the growth and flourishing of the society in a spiritual, helpful, and honest way.
- The greatest leader among men is the High Rabbi or High Priest, for he best knows the Divine.
- People should be governed by trusted authorities (as opposed to anarchy or corrupt authorities)
- War is undesirable, but may be necessary to protect value and virtue
- Hope and Conviction are prudent for a successful and meaningful life.
Answer 2
There is no such thing as Judeo-Christian as the core tenets of the two religions are diametrically opposed. Judeo-Christian was an invention of Christianity. The Jewish Bible is called the Tanach and the Christian Old Testament is based on the Tanach but was altered to support the teachings of Christianity.
Answer 3
It simply means a combination of Jewish and Christian beliefs, as one evolved from the other. It is not only the ideas the agree, but all beliefs in the two categories (as the moral values and such are quite similar).
Answer 4
The Christian religion evolved from Judaism. Jesus was the King of the Jews. The Old Testament is from Judaism, Moses and the Ten Commandments. The concept of monotheism which they share with the Muslim faith should also be mentioned. All three share the same biblical roots and all share more in common then they have in opposition. They all are people of the "Book" and all share a mutual starting point.
