The Prophets and the Rise of Judaism. (Translated by S.H.Hooke).

4th imp. The author ".discusses the characteristics of the great Asiatic empires of Assyria and Babylonia which brought about the downfall of the two Israelite kingdoms; and describes the appearance, in these two little states, of a line of prophets who, in open opposition to the narrow nationalistic religion of their contemporaries, evolved a purer and wider monotheistic ideal. The second part traces the development of Judaism as a new politico-religious growth based on a compromise between the old order and the new tenets of the prophets, and follows its destiny up to the time of the Maccabees."
