The State as such had nothing more to do with the religious life, and we even see the beginnings in Deuteronomy of that develop- ment which subsequently set the Church over the State and regarded the latter merely as the handmaid of the former. Civil State life became a matter of ecclesias- tical cult. This, in a sense, was providential. By the I separation of religion from the State, the religion of/ DEUTERONOMY. 89 Israel was enabled to survive the destruction of the i Jewish State which foll...owed thirty-five years later. But its ultimate consequences were direful beyond measure. Nor was this all that Deuteronomy did. It substi- tuted for the living revelation of God in the human heart and in history, the dead letter. For the first ^- time a book was made the foundation of religion, reli- gion a statute, a law. He who followed what was writ- ten in this book was religious, and he alone. We see, thus, how an indubitable deepening of the religious spirit is followed by a fixed externalism, and how the prophetic assumptions led to thoroughly un- prophetic conclusions.
