| | Conservatism is rooted in the moral values of biblical, Mosaic [[Judaism]]. Social conservatism derives from the Torah's opposition to libertine activity and moral abominations, and economic conservatism is expounded upon in Jesus's parables especially found in the [[Gospel of Matthew]] that exposit the principles of a free-market economy, in addition to John the Baptist's exhortation for soldiers to be content with their wages (a rebuke against labor union politics). | | Conservatism is rooted in the moral values of biblical, Mosaic [[Judaism]].
