To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Melchiz- edek was a priest not by descent in a sacerdotal tribe ; but because, according to existing institutions, univer- sal in the world of his time, he discharged those duties as a prince. JSTo mention is made of his parentage to show his right to exercise the office of priest. His right was declared in the mention of his rank as king. But he was distinguished above others of his day and neighborhood in being priest not of a polytheism nor of an idolatry, nor of a local or inferior deity, b...ut of the Most High God. So far then he is a testimony that among the nations of Canaan some still maintained the knowl- edge of the Most High God in its grand simplicity. The economy thus introduced received more light as it advanced, and before its close we might record the features of its Abrahamic type as follows ; 4* 82 COMPARATIVE RELIGION.
