The History Of The Jews From The Christian Era To The Dawn Of The Reformation Philip Henry Gosse by Philip Henry Gosse instant download after payment.

"The people of Israel must ever be regarded with an interest unrivaled by that which attaches to any other of the nations of the earth. Where else shall we look for a people who can not only trace back their lineage with certainty to a single ancestor, but can point to historical records of their fortunes… during a period which stretches away into an antiquity of nearly four thousand years?

"And what picture of national history could ever display lights so bright, or shadows so deep and dark as this? No people ever stood on such a pinnacle of moral elevation, none ever fell into such an abyss of crime: no nation ever possessed such true grandeur, none ever groaned in such a depth of misery.

"But there is one feature that strongly distinguishes the Jewish history, and throws it out in broad relief from every other… (It is) the direct and overt interference of Jehovah in person. The history of the seed of Abraham is a history of miracle; and that not in the way of rare and startling exception, but in its true and proper character; the absence of miracle was the deviation from the rule. – Philip Gosse, from his introduction.
