Description
Excerpt from The Jewish Messiah: A Critical History of the Messianic Idea Among the Jews From the Rise of the Maccabees to the Closing of the Talmud
I thought this practice would seem pedantic, and have therefore conformed to the usual spelling.
In quoting Biblical passages I have generally followed the Authorised Version, unless some critical reason con nected with the subject under discussion required a departure from it. In translating the numerous extracts from non-biblical works, I have studied accuracy rather than elegance. These extracts are so c0pious, because the manner in which the thought is expressed is quite as important as the thought itself, and by reading the very words of these ancient writings we are brought into closer contact with the mental condition to which the Messianic doctrine appealed, and in which it found its nutriment and strength.
