Priestly learning

The Jewish conception of God, as Yawah, Jehovah, or only a mighty hero and king, has not quite given place to the true knowledge of God. Creeds and rituals have not cleansed their hands of

rabbinical lore. To-day the cry of bygone ages is re- peated, "Crucify him!" At every advancing step, truth is still opposed with sword and spear.
