Excerpt from Judaism and Christianity: A Sketch of the Progress of Thought From Old Testament to New Testament

The present volume was begun as a continuation of my "Quotations in the New Testament," with the purpose of giving an orderly view of the development of religious thought apparent in the way in which Old Testament passages are interpreted and used by New Testament writers. On further consideration of the subject, however, I came to the conclusion that this end would be better gained by a general historical survey of the period reaching from the distinct legal organization of the Jewish people to the close of the New Testament Canon. In so large a field I have been obliged to confine myself to the discussion of general ethical-religious ideas, omitting many details which might properly have been introduced but for lack of space; and this condensation will not be without advantage if it helps to secure clearness of outline without the sacrifice of anything essential to the discussion.
