Excerpt from History of Religions, Vol. 2: Judaism, Christianity, Mohammedanism In the course of their history these religions have under gone many changes, and variations have arisen which depart so widely from the primitive type or the prevailing trend Of development that they might almost be described as dis tinct species, descended from the same remote ancestor and bearing the same generic name. This multifariousness makes the presentation of the religions in the present vol ume peculiarly difficult. It is not merely that an intelligible account of the variations is hard to give in small compass, but that the narrator is tempted to involve himself in a maze of digressions in which the thread Of the history is lost. This can only be avoided by treating them from the point Of view of the main movement and subordinating them to it.
