Overview

Excerpt from The Way of Faith, or the Abridged Bible: Containing Selections From All the Books of Holy Writ Othe connection which exists between the volumes containing the Divine Revelation and the Jewish religion, is as manifold, essential, and decided, as the influence of religion itself is on the higher destiny of man. Hence revealed religion and reason assert an equal authority and an equal right in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Israelite. While reason seeks, revelation shows him the way to happiness, and enlightens the path with the light of faith. Though the free spirit of inquiry penetrates even into this sanctuary (revelation), removing, with a pre sumptuous hand, the holy veil from consecrated monuments, for the purpose of bringing to light sterile probabilities, which can at best but imperfectly satisfy the understanding, and leave the heart cold yet it behoves, and is incumbent on the Israelite, to believe in the word of God,1 as it behoves, and is incumbent on him, as a rational being, to obey the moral law.
