Overview

Excerpt from Hebrew and Babylonian Traditions: The Haskell Lectures, Delivered at Oberlin College in 1913 Accepting the ascertained results of modern re search, the question, then, with which we are con fronted is to account for the tremendous influence exerted by Hebrew traditions in the form finally given to them, and to explain why the religious thought and practices of the Hebrews became, with the heritage of Greek and Roman culture, the foun dation structure on which the superstructure of modern civilisation has been erected. That fact is as undeniable as are the postulates of biblical crit icism and of archaeological investigations.
