Abstract: Nowadays we regard the Jewish-Christian dialogue as an ancient biblical heritage, reflected best in the Church/State relationship that still influence the Eastern-European Orthodox way of political theology. God, through the Law of Moses, offers the man created according to His image a series of rights that come to valorize the dignity and freedom of humans. These various rights must be protected by a civil authority that respects human dignity and religious freedom. Our original interpretation of Church/State relations will emphasize the necessity for a dialogue between Judaism and Orthodox Christianity that dominates Eastern-European countries, in order to update our joint ancient heritage, for building a better society.
