Jewish-Christian Tradition
The Jewish-Christian Tradition refers to the shared beliefs and historical connections between Judaism and Christianity. Both religions trace their roots to the ancient Hebrew scriptures, known as the Tanakh in Judaism and the Old Testament in Christianity. Central to this tradition is the figure of Jesus, who was born into a Jewish family and whose teachings emerged from a Jewish context.
This tradition emphasizes the importance of ethical teachings, such as love, justice, and community. Key texts include the Torah for Jews and the New Testament for Christians. Despite theological differences, both faiths share a commitment to monotheism and the significance of sacred texts in guiding moral behavior.
