A Thousand Years of Jewish History From the Days of Alexander the Great to the Moslem Conquest of Spain
Maurice Henry Harris
When the impatient youth demands, like the heathen from Hillel, a definition of Judaism, bid him "go and learn" the history of the Jew. Let him follow the fascinating story from hoar antiquity, when the obscure Hebrews, "leaving kindred and father's house, " took a bold and new departure for the land that God would show—the land that would show God.
Point to the colossal figure of Moses on Sinai, "greatest of the prophets, " who gave the first uplifting impulse with his Ten Words of Faith and Duty. Trace with him the soul struggle of this "fewest of all peoples" to reach the truth of divinity—beginning with a crude conception that became steadily more exalted and more clarified with each successive age, until, at last, the idea is realized of an all-pervading Spirit, with "righteousness and justice as the pillars of His throne, " the "refuge of all generations."
