Excerpt from A Manual of Christian Evidences for Jewish People, Vol. 2 The primary object of the following pages is to make Christianity better understood of Jews. For nothing is more astounding to Christian people than the strange notions about it which Jews still hold. The author, indeed, cannot hope to be always right in his own statements about Judaism, though he is much encouraged by the fact that none of the Jewish reviews of the first volume pointed out any errors in this respect, but Jewish writers go wrong not so much in details as in their general idea of what Christianity is, and especially of what it holds with regard to Christ Himself. Further, they often assume that Christianity is identical with Roman Catholicism. This is not unnatural on the part of non-Christians, but it is not true. In any case, not Roman Catholicism but the New Testament alone is the standard adopted in this work. No doubt, however, as the author belongs to the Anglican branch of the Catholic Church, he is inclined to regard the New Testament from the standpoint of the Book of Common Prayer and the Thirty-nine Articles. The Jewish writer of a review of the first volume complained that the book was a petitio principii, on the ground that the truth of the Christian religion was assumed, and therefore it had no force for a Jew. Naturally, a Christian must assume the truth of Christianity, and he has only to consider how best he may expound it and defend it.
