"One way to understand Judeo-Christian values, therefore, is as values that emanate from a Judeo-based Christianity. Christians have always had the choice to reject the Jewish roots of Christianity (which, when done, enabled Christian anti-Semitism), to ignore those roots, or to celebrate and embrace them. American Christians have, more than any other Christian group, opted for the latter."
Dennis Prager is one of the strongest advocates of morallity and values. He is highly intellegent and articulate. I have enjoyed his series. This article is interesting. I don't know if his analysis is completely correct, but it is worth some thought. I understand that my Christianity emanates from the Judaism of the Old Testament. I believe that my Christianity is a completion of the Judaism of the OT. Prager would disagree with me on this point. We do not disagree as to the importance of values.
