Excerpt from An Attempt to Remove Prejudices Concerning, Vol. 1: The Jewish Nation; By Way of Dialogue
To recommend fuch an examination, was all I ih tended when Iitiook up the pen; but no one who takes up the pen can tell when he {hall lay it down; and notwith pfianding'the importance Of that fubjeé't, I mufi profefs, that I conlider it as of much inferior confequence to 'us, than that important point, which being conneeled therewith, I have been led to confider: it is.a fubjeft that hath ever fince the afcenfion of our Lord, been confi dered as the most important. Infidels have feoffed at us concerning it, and have aimed a heavy blow, which hath been fo powerfully felt, that it hath induced a very slearned prelate (bifhop W arburton) to evade the force Of it,' by renouncinc an Opinion, which he acknowledges to have been an opinion Of the apoftolic age; in doing this, I think he has fallen into a dreadful error. I have endeavoured To shew the soundness OP the AH cient doctrine; the doetrine which he himfelf acknow ledges to be the ancient doc'trine; and TO prove that every authorized expectation OF the ancient christian church, I - iath been completely rea lized and accomplished.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a sensitive and often misunderstood subject: the treatment of Jewish people throughout history. The author, a concerned layman of the Church of England, seeks to challenge prevailing prejudices by meticulously examining historical accounts of Jewish persecution. He argues that the suffering endured by Jewish people, from the Crusades to the reign of King Richard I, was often driven by misinterpretations of scripture and fueled by a pervasive hatred, not by the actions of the Jewish people themselves. The author draws on the work of historical figures like Fox, the martyrologist, and Smollett, to illuminate the brutality and injustice faced by Jewish communities. He critiques the widespread belief that Jews were inherently untrustworthy and prone to violence, exposing the harmful nature of such generalizations. The book also explores the theological underpinnings of anti-Jewish sentiment, exposing how a distorted view of Jewish religion was used to justify persecution. By unveiling the historical roots of prejudice, this book offers a powerful and thought-provoking examination of how misunderstanding and fear can lead to tragic consequences.
