Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Two Religions of Israel: With a Re-Examination of the Prophetic Narratives and Utterances In every progressive people a time arrives when there has to be a conflict between the old religion and the new, and the conflict is long-continued and never altogether decided. So it was in Israel, so it is still in Christendom; and the relation between Judaism and Christianity imparts a special interest to the story of the conflict between the two religions in Israel. The evidence for this conflict, however, needs a careful re-examination. In order to write the present volume and its predecessors I have had to question many things which I formerly held to be, if not true, yet as near to truth as an unkind destiny permitted. I have ventured, at an age when I might perhaps, in the great Lord Russell's phrase, have 'rested and been thankful, ' to take a step or two in advance, and to assert a claim to work on largely original lines. In order to do this I have kept myself abreast of the discovery of fresh facts, and have also further developed my textual studies, and on this basis have sought to give more satisfactory solutions of the historical and exegetical problems actually before us. Let those be severe upon me for my audacity who, in the fulness of youthful energy, are prepared to perform the same duty better. I do not think that any one will accuse me of unwillingness to learn from the most varied teachers, whether seniors or juniors.
