Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Preparation for Christianity in the Ancient World: A Study in the History of Moral Development
Scholars who have themselves passed through a similar experience are well aware that the pro duction of a small book of the class to which this belongs is more difficult, in some respects, than the composition of the customary exact academic monograph. Except in an attempt to make the past vivid, these pages lay no claim to special originality. Processes are entirely sup pressed, results alone appear. The selection and compression, inseparable from the presentation, have been directed toward rendering the picture as a whole more impressive and less easily mis taken.
For the information of American readers I may add that this little book has been prepared for the Church of Scotland, Guild Series. 1 The Guild is an organization of the young people of the Church. Among its many admirable activ ities none is more praiseworthy than the provis ion of this series of volumes designed to deepen the intelligent interest of the laity in all ques tions connected with the origin, nature, history, and extension of the Christian religion.
