Excerpt from Israel's Hope of Immortality: Four Lectures The four lectures contained in this volume were written for the Vacation Term for Biblical Study for Women, held at Durham in the summer of 1906, and are published by kind permission of the Editor of The Interpreter, in whose pages they appeared last year. The writer has made no attempt to enlarge the original scope and design of the lectures, which were necessarily limited; but he hopes that the book may prove useful as an illustration of the progressive character of the Old Testament Revelation, and may serve as an introduction to the study of larger works on the same subject.
