8vo. Xxxv, 308 pages. From preface: This book is an evolutionary study of Christendom. Although it loargely takes the form of research into ancient history, it is in substance an inquiry into vital questions of today. Owing to a recent separation of Church and State, there is a tendency to take for granted that religion deals only with matters of belief about things what have no concern for practical persons, or that it relates only to private, individual affairs. Hence the need for pointing out that the vital religious ideas of Christian society took shape in response to a social pressure as tremendous and compelling as that in which we live today. SUBJECT (S) : Jews - History - To 70 A. D; Jews - Social life and customs. Gilt lettering on spine is fading. Some slight bumping to edges and spine. Marking of previous owner.
