To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
great nations of olden times have possessed Sacred Books, which, having been written in remote an- tiquity by their best and wisest men, were rev- erenced as something not only holy, but beyond the unassisted powers of the human intellect, some- thing imparted, revealed directly by the deity itself, and therefore to be accepted, undisputed, as abso- lute truth. It is clear that it was in the interest of the priests, the keepers and teachers of all religious knowledge, to encourage and maintain ...in the peo- ple at large this unquestioning belief. 2. Of all such books that have become known to us, there are none of greater interest and import- ance than the sacred books of Ancient Babylonia. Not merely because they are the oldest known, having been treasured in the priestly libraries of Agade, Sippar, Cutha, etc. , at an incredibly early date, but principally because the ancestors of the Hebrews, during their long station in the land of Shinar, learned the legends and storie;s they con- tained, and working them over after their own superior religious lights, remodelled them into the narrative which was written down many centuries later as part of the Book of Genesis.
