Sinopsis
Excerpt from Some Thoughts on Judaism: Two Lectures Delivered May, 1879 Before the Y. M. H. A., San Franscisco
I °have often read in books of travel of a peculiarity of the residences of our co-religionists in those lands where religious persecution has not yet died out, and where the fear of the fanaticism of an ignorant multitude which ever and anon vent-s itself in the sacking of the Jewish quarter, yet haunts the minds of our brethren in faith. The peculiarity I allude to, is the striking contrast that exists between the exteriors and the interiors of the houses of Jewish families; the former frequently exhibiting a poverty and meanness utterly at variance with the wealth, the elegance, and the luxury disclosed within. Something very analogous to this will be experienced in our contemplation and examination of Judaism itself, which exhibits very different features as seen from without, and as seen from within. Different, if viewed even through a mental atmosphere clear of the mist and fog of prejudice; and how much greater must the contrast prove, when the exterior view is taken through the deceptive media of sectarian bigotry and hatred, through which it has been too frequently the custom of the world to regard it.

Excerpt from Some Thoughts on Judaism: Two Lectures Delivered May, 1879 Before the Y. M. H. A., San Franscisco
The religion of Christ is that which he himself, as man, also recognized and practised, which every man can have in common with him, and that is love and humanity; the Christian religion is that which assumes it as true that he was more than man, and which makes him as such the object of its worship."
With so much of introduction and explanation then our subject is "Judaism," a word perhaps as much misunderstood as any word in our language. It will be my endeavor to-night to expose some of the misconceptions which have been formed concerning it, to clear it somewhat from the mist of prejudice which has surrounded it, and to place it in that clear light and favorable position, to which I believe its merits entitle it. It will be scarcely possible within the limits of two short lectures to do more than treat the subject in a somewhat general and discursive manner, and you will hardly expect from me, a mere layman, that learned, profound, and authoritative exposition that the subject would be apt to receive from some of our learned ministers, upon whose manor you may perhaps think I am trespassing in my selection of a theme. It may still however not be inappropriate to discuss it.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the misconceptions and prejudices surrounding Judaism, aiming to present a clearer and more nuanced understanding of this ancient religion. The author, a non-Jewish layman, examines how Judaism has been viewed by different groups throughout history, and how these perceptions have often been distorted by religious biases. Through an exploration of Jewish writings and teachings, the book sheds light on the core principles of Judaism, such as its emphasis on love, justice, and the rejection of idolatry. The author also addresses common criticisms directed towards Judaism, including allegations of exclusivism and tribalism, arguing that these are based on misunderstandings of Jewish doctrine. This book offers a valuable contribution to the ongoing dialogue between Judaism and other faiths, and provides insights that can foster greater understanding and mutual respect.
