For even apart from the special dogma of Christianity, there is such a thing as Christian civilisation, and we Jews of the West live and take part in it. But civilisation is a highly complicated product: all kinds of elements enter into it ; a myriad causes have produced it. Among these elements and causes, Jewish thought and Christian thought, Greek thought and Roman thought, have contributed their quota.
