Excerpt from Some Chapters on Judaism and the Science of Religion
Religion is the truth that absorbs all other truths. It is the highest synthesis, the science of all sciences. All attainments are subservient to the purposes of progressing culture. The aggregate experiences of mankind are on the line of the universal end to emancipate the soul.
In this sense all the activities of humanity in their vast variety and multiform energies are in the employ of religion. For religion is the name of the final and much desired state, when man will be sovereign of himself, as far as he can, and master of the tools of his life.
I have attempted in the following pages to sketch a few agreements which are already noticeable between historical Judaism and the present science of religion. I mean to do a humble task, conscious of the magnitude of the problem. I am content with suggesting merely the thought, that the science of religion is the science of Judaism.
I find it is time to say something with respect to the science of religion from the Jewish standpoint.
