Excerpt from Sacred Scriptures of the World: Being Selections of the Most Devotional and Ethical Portions of the Ancient Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, to Which Have Been Added Kindred Selections From Other Ancient Scriptures of the World
The compiler of this volume may here be permitted to make some per sonal explanations with reference to his fitness to undertake so great a work as that which he has ventured to assume, and the general methods he has adopted. From childhood he has been unusually familiar With the Bible. Very early in life he committed to memory large portions Of it. In college, in theological schools, and during the many studious as well as busy years of a clergyman's life which have followed, the Bible has unceasingly been his book Of books. He has also during these years, from opportunities as pastor and preacher in country as well as in city parishes; from opportunities also Of wide and various associations, both in America and in Europe, With people Of all grades Of intellectual and theological appreciations, sought to arrive at just and Wise conclusions as to the relative worth of the various parts Of the Bible with reference to the views and needs, not only Of people in general, but of the more intelli gent and critical Classes in particular.
With so much Of early and Of continued preparation to recommend him to the task, or at least to recommend the task to him, he began about six years ago to devote his leisure hours to gathering and arranging the materials for this volume chiefly that he might have it for his own use in his own home, pulpit, and congregation.

Dear Sir:
It is always a great satisfaction to see the budding germs of the seed which one has helped to sow. I wish you all success in your endeavors after a religion of humanity, but success, to be solid, must not be too rapid. The true religion of the future will be the fulfilment of all the religions of the past - the true religion of humanity, that which, in the struggle of history, remains as the indestructible portion of all the socalled false religions of mankind. There never was a false god, nor was there ever really a false religion, unless you call a child a false man. All religions, so far as I know them, had the same purpose; all were links in a chain which connects heaven and earth, and which is held, and always was held, by one and the same hand. All here on earth tends toward right, and truth, and perfection; nothing here on earth can ever be quite right, quite true, quite perfect, not even Christianity - or what is now called Christianity - so long as it excludes all other religions, instead of loving and embracing what is good in each. Nothing to my mind can be sadder than reading the sacred books of mankind - and yet nothing more encouraging. They are full of rubbish; but among that rubbish there are old stones which the builders of the true Temple of Humanity will not reject must not reject, if their Temple is to hold all who worship God in spirit, in truth, and in life.
Believe me.
Yours truly,
F. Max Müller.
