Religion Of Israel To The Exile Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Religion of Israel to the Exile N 1894, Prof. C. H. Toy, of Harvard University, Chairman of the American Committee for Lectures on the History of Religions, on behalf of the Committee, invited me to deliver the fourth series of these lectures, on a subject connected with the history of the religion of old Israel, my imme diate predecessor, Prof. T. K Cheyne, of Oxford, having chosen for his theme Jewish Religious Life after the Exile. I gladly accepted the honour of this appointment, nor was I long in deciding more definitely upon the subject. Since Professor Cheyne began his lectures with the Babylonian exile, mine must connect with them at that point; since he covered in his course the rest of the Old Testament period, mine must go back to the beginnings. Aside from this, it would have been impossible for me to speak of the early ages of the religion of Yahweh without following it up to its origin.

Excerpt from The Kings and Prophets of Israel and Judah: From the Division of the Kingdom to the Babylonian Exile The three centuries and a half, which began with the division of the Hebrew empire and extended to the Babylonian exile, were in many ways the most important period in Israel's history. It was during this epoch that the Israelites ceased to be a provincial people, limited in their out look to the narrow horizon of Palestine. Events over which they had little control brought them into close contact with the great world powers of the day, thereby vastly broadening their faith, as well as their vision of history and of their relation to the human race. It was a period marked by supreme political, social and religious crises, which funda mentally transformed Israel's religion and institutions. These crises called forth the great ethical prophets of the eighth and seventh centuries B.o.; and their work and teachings made Israel's experience during these trying years one of the most significant chapters in human history.

Excerpt from Stories of the Prophets: Before the Exile The company of inspired men, commonly known as the prophets of Israel, were the unique product of the Jewish religious genius. They were pre - eminently preachers of righteousness. Fearless and undaunted, they told the house of Israel their sins and the house of Jacob their transgressions. They contemplated the facts of life from the highest point of view. For them religion and morality were blended, ethics and politics were one. Theirs was peculiarly a social mes sage; the demand for justice underlies all their thinking and speaking. They had a veritable passion for righteousness; through all the ages their words have been torches lighting the way of men struggling upward towards the truth.

Excerpt from Israel After the Flesh, the Judaism of the Bible, Separated From Its Spiritual Religion IT is admitted that, while the Old Testament generally expresses Judaism, and the New, Christianity; yet even in the life of Christ there is a considerable portion of the Jewish element; and that the principles of the Gospel were shadowed out, anterior to the existence of the Israelite nation.

Excerpt from Israel the Gentiles: Contributions to the History of the Jews From the Earliest Times to the Present Day IT may, perhaps, not be quite without interest to my English readers to know that I am, by birth, a descendant of one of those Jewish families who, in the seventeenth century, sought refuge in the Netherlands from the persecutions of Spain and Portugal. From my earliest youth the history of my forefathers has been an object of meditation and study the modern part, especially, first drew my attention, and both my heart and imagination were captivated by the task of exploring the annals of Israel's dispersion and exile.

Excerpt from The Restoration of Israel Obedience to God's laws and God on His part was graciously pledged to perform certain things for them. This was the Mosaic Covenant. It was no part of the everlasting Abrahamic Covenant, it was no part of the Promises made to the Fathers. The Abrahamic Covenant Promises were wholly unconditional. This Old, Mosaic Covenant had not been made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but with their seed centuries later at Horeb. The Lord our God made a Covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord made not this Covenant with our Fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day (deut. V. 2.
