To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For the present we must content ourselves with gen- eral outlines, which, however, for our purpose is quite sufficient. My aim has been, as will have become evident by this time, to indicate not merely the points of divergence between the two civilisations that started out with much in common, but more particularly to indicate why, with important traditions and beliefs so close to one another as to be practically identical, we find the Hebrews proceeding along a line of de- velopment which grad...ually transformed these tradi- tions and beliefs into a medium for expressing the highest spiritual aspirations of the human race and led to one of the most impressive endeavours to find a solution for the mysteries by which we are surrounded — above all for that profoundest of mys- teries, the relation of the individual to a universe assumed to be under divine government. I say, one of the most impressive attempts because we must never forget that in a district lying far beyond the possible scope of influences emanating from either Babylonia, Egypt, or Palestine, we find in the re- ligious history of India another and totally different endeavour to penetrate into the secrets of the uni- verse with an earnestness that challenges our ad- miration, all the more because its outlook on Hfe 256 HEBREW AND BABYLONIAN TRADITIONS is dark and not hopeful, and because it appears to enthrone at the head of the universe bUnd chance.
