To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
According to Josephus, whole tribes in the neighbourhood of Judea had submitted to the rite of circumcision {Ant. xiii. 9. I ; 1 1 . 3 ; 15, 4). The women of Damascus in particular are mentioned as not trusted by their husbands in a massacre of the Jews, because they were ' favourable to the Jews* religion.' The Jews in Alexandria occupied two of the five quarters into which the city was divided: and the whole Jewish population of Egypt was rated by Philo at a million. Facts like these speak vo...lumes for the importance and influence of the Jews. In one sense it is true that the Jewish religion seemed already about to expire. To us, looking back from the vantage ground of the Gospel, nothing is clearer than that it contained within itself the seeds of its own destruction. * The Law and the Prophets were until John, and now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.' Before Christ — after Christ — this is the great landmark that divides Judaism from Christianity, while for a few years longer the devoted nation, already within the coils of its own destiny, lingers about its ancient seat.
