Religion in the Making

Excerpt from Religion in the Making: A Study in Biblical Sociology With the domestic, political, and industrial life of the Hebrews. I have avoided notes, debates, and citation of authorities, in the interest of brevity and clearness. Acknowledgment of obligations to various authorities will be made in the bibliography which accompanies this work. The book, however, is a fresh study at first hand of the Bible in the light of the principles of sociology. So far as I know, the term biblical sociology was first used in my announcements. It has since been adopted by two or three other writers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
