Overview

Excerpt from The Story of the Jews: Ancient, Medi val, and Modern A second embarrassment arlses from the fact that in the story of the Jews many points are presented with regard to which the feelings of men are so keen and at the same time so conflicting. To-day, through out the civilized world, many regard the Hebrews with dislike, perhaps aversion, as an unattractive, in deed a dangerous element in society. Certainly this story cannot be written without demonstrating to how large an extent this prejudice is cruel and un just, however inveterate and explicable, - an effort which is certain, in some quarters, to be ill taken. As regards the ancient period, can the account be given Without some attempt to separate fact from myth, - to circumscribe within just limits the natural and the supernatural; and can such discriminations be attempted without giving offence in one quarter or another? Protestant, Catholic, Rationalist, Jew, have, each one, his peculiar point of view, - and each one, if he is at all earnest, regards the matters in dis pute as things by no means far off, but of vital, present importance.
