To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Must we either aban- don our Old Testament, and lose three fourths of our Bible, or exalt our Old Tes- tament to a place beyond its right, in defiance of truth ? We have to ask, with discrimination. What religious value has the Old Testament for Christians ? The question is not as to its historical value. Only fools deny that. It has value for national history — very great. It is our main source for Hebrew history, and our chief secondary source for the his- tory of the surrounding peoples. The...se documents have, of course, unique value for religious history, for the Hebrew re- ligion, and for the religion of Christians, which sprang from Judaism and has its roots in it. They have, of course, also, importance for theology, which, if studied soundly, must be studied historically ; the Biblical theology of the Old Testament is one historical basis. But religious value is different. There are those, I know, who deny this difference, who confuse historical value OF THE OLD TESTAMENT 57 with religious value.
