Jerusalem, the Holy City (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Jerusalem, the Holy CityWe are told that the successive histories in which all this line of life and being is preserved, having now been exposed to the researches of modern criticism, have been found to be untrustworthy, and that all our views of his torical truth, and all our faith in ancient and sacred per sonages, must be given up. The labours of half-a-dozen learned Germans working by no light except that of their own genius, upon the most ancient literature in the world, amid all the difficulties attending research in a language which contains nothing else with which to compare or collate the works under examination, and belonging to a period when language was being formed, and when sci ence, either in that or in any other region, did not exist.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
