Excerpt from The Religion and Worship of the Synagogue: An Introduction to the Study of Judaism From the New Testament Period But besides the student Of comparative religion and the Christian theologian, there is a third class whose needs ought to be considered in this matter; we mean that large and growing class of intelligent readers who take a human interest in all that is human for its own sake, and to whom the fact that Jews and Judaism occupy so conspicuous a place in the modern world must make its appeal. We would fain hope that the present volume will be found useful by and adapted to meet the needs of those readers who may happen to peruse it because of their interest in Judaism as one of the great living religions Of the world to - day.
