Excerpt from Academical Lectures on the Jewish Scriptures and Antiquities, Vol. 3

In the work now completed, I have aimed to show what it is, in the ancient Jewish hooks, that a Christian is called on to believe; and that all that he is called on to believe is credible and well substantiated.

I have not shrunk from any conclusions to which the facts and reasons conducted my mind, "being persuaded," with good Hooker, "of nothing more than this, that, whether it be in matter of speculation or of practice, no untruth can possibly avail the patron and defender long, and that things most truly are likewise most behoovefully spoken."

Judaism is not our rule of faith and conduct. It was superseded, eighteen centuries ago, by Christianity. But Christianity recognizes the Jewish religion as a revelation from God. It assumes a responsibility for the divine origin of that religion. Hence the evidence for the authority of Judaism complicates itself with the evidences of Christianity. The nature and intimacy of the connection between the two systems have been differently understood. Opinions very vague, and, when not vague, often very erroneous, have been entertained by Christians on that subject.
