The Judeo-Christian tradition consists of those beliefs and mores which Christianity derives from Judaism. The belief in [[God]] as a benevolent, omnipotent creator; the [[Ten Commandments]]. '''Judeo-Christian''' (or '''Judaeo-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 a fundamental basis for Western world 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.
