We come now to the authors outline OF the
story of Jesus which is peculiarly interesting
because drawn from the viewpoint OF n philo-
sophie Jew. Prof Gractz begins by saying that

Herod Antpas, his work was carried on by some
of his disciples. among whom no one cxerted so
powerful an influence rs jesus OF Galllee'

and several daughters. Whether Joseph or

to the family of David cannot, in our authors
opinion. be proved. Tho measure OF their sons

On the other hand. morality was stricter In

were locke ed upon MS fanatical dogmatists.

said 10 his followers: Provide neither gold nor

Sabbath holy. for those OF his followers who
were attached to Judaism strictly observed tho
Sabbath. which they would not have done
had their Master dsrcgardcd 1t. II was only
the Shammaitic strictness In tho observance OF
tho Sabbath. which forbade even the healing ot
tho sick on that day, that Jesus protested
against, declaring in conformity with tho viows
OF Flillc that 1t was lawful TO do good on tho
Sabbath day. Jesus madc no objection to tho
custom OF Offering sacrifices: 1Ic merely do

him, that reconciliation with ones fellow man
should prccedc any act Of religious atoncmcnt.
Even fasting found no opponent in him, so
far as 1t was practscd without ostcntation or
hypocrisy. Ho wore on his garments the
fringes ordered by tho law, and our author does
not hesitate to assert that Jesus belongs so
thoroughly to Judaism that he shared the mar
row views held by the Judeans at that period
when he said: Give not that which Is holy
unto tho dogs: neither cast ye your pearls be-
fore SWINE lest they tramplc them under their
feet and turn again and rend them"
Wherein, then. in tho Judgment OF our au-
thor did the merit OF Jesus consist? 1t con-
sisted especially in his efforts to impart greater
inner force to the prccepts of Judaism: in the
enthusiasm with which no obeyed them HIM
self: in his ardor to make the Judonns turn to
God with llal love, as children to their father;
in his fervent upholiinS of the brotherhood OF
all Israelites whether rich or poor.a doctrine
subsequently expanded into tho brotherhood
of man-and. finally. in his endeavors to get
these moral laws accepted by those who NTH
erto had been regarded Us the lowest and most
degraded of mankind.

We have had several histories OF the Jewish
people written from Christian point OF view.
but what English readers have long needed Is
a scholarly, dispassionate. and philosophical
study OF the subject by one who is himself an
Israelte. This want the jewish Publication
Society Of America have undertaken to meet
in the History Of The Je'rs by Prof. II. GRAErz.

first volume OF this work: the second. which Is

larly important but Christian readers will be
most interested in his description OF the
schools Of Hillel and Shammai which. between
them. monopoiiZed the attention OF intellec-
tual Jews in the first quarter OF the first con-
tury, and the chapters dealing respectively
with Nlessianic expectations and the origin OF
Christianity, with the spread OF the judean
