The Ancient Scriptures And The Modern Jew Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Jewish Scriptures: The Books of the Old Testament in the Light of Their Origin and History The purpose of this volume is to present the history and literature of the ancient Hebrews, as contained in the Old Testament, in a clear, concise, and candid way, accepting the benefit of the light revealed by modern research and learning, and applying the same calm judgment to which we are accustomed in dealing with the productions of other ancient peoples. The writer lays no claim to special erudition or to original research. With a keen interest in the subject and a studious searching of the Jewish Scriptures themselves in our English version, he has endeavored to absorb for his own enlightenment the results of the studies of the great scholars of Europe upon the subject during the last thirty years, and has tried to condense within the compass of one moderate volume the fruits of that endeavor.
