Excerpt from The Religion of Israel
This little book is written for college undergraduates, and is, accordingly, not a systematic treatise on Old Testament Theology. The writer has had considerable experience in teaching both graduate and undergraduate students and has endeavoured to put into the following pages the kind of information in which, as he has learned, college undergraduates take an interest, and to present it as he has found they like to have it presented. He has found that the undergraduate wishes to know the truth as fully and frankly as it can be known, and, while he has not always the disciplined patience to enjoy the details which the more mature student must master, he is interested in watching the development of great movements in history, and in tracing the forces that shaped them.
In the following pages an effort is made to present for such students the development of Israel's religion from its primitive Semitic beginnings to the coming of Christ. Since even those students who have had a course in the literature of the Old Testament seldom have been taught how to use the earlier books from the historical point of view, it seemed best to devote a chapter to that subject.
