Excerpt from Fire From Strange Altars
The religion Of the Israelites alone survived. The nation suffered from wars and conquests, oppressions and captivities, but these only served to assist the religion to a more healthful growth and a more spiritual worship. The exigencies of war and political revolutions do not fully account for the decay and final extinction of sur rounding religions. They are not to be forgotten in the solution of the problem, but there is a point beyond which they are silent.
