Excerpt from The Mosaic Record and Modern Science Many Sabbath - school workers and Bible students have felt and expressed surprise that during the late discussions and explanations of the International Lesson Series, the Mosaic account of creation received such unsatisfactory defence. Though familiar with the current difficulties and objections, and in some instances unable to answer them, still the teacher and the student had not been alarmed; they presumed, that, when this subject should be critically examined and commented upon by the pulpit and the press, perfectly satisfactory expla nations would be given. But as a matter of fact, we have to confess that a large number of even the more common objec tions either were not well met, or were passed in silence.

But as a matter of fact, we have to confess that a large number of even the more common objections either were not well met, or were passed in silence. Now, only a moments reflection is needed to show how unreasonable is the demand that all difficulties should be exhaustively examined and satisfactorily reviewed in the studies of a few weeks.

Excerpt from The Story of Creation I offer great latitude here to the speculations of modern science. This will not strike all my readers favorably; but time, I think, will justify the course I have taken. I have lived to see the nebular hypothesis propounded, disputed, and at last quite generally. Accepted. The development hypothesis seems passing the same ordeal. It has not yet, by any means, been established, -but it is every year gaining ground with sc1entific men; and the question is already upon us, whether, in case that hypothesis were established, we could maintain our faith in the Bible. Some scientific men say no some zeal ously religions men say no. Others, equally wise and equally good, say yes: the Mosaic cosmogony and the development hypothesis may be so interpreted as to stand in perfect har mony. In this work I take my stand with the latter class, and make my appeal to all honest inquirers and earnest workers, whether in the field of biblical interpretation or in that of scien tific research. Whether we read from the rock-record or from the inspired Word, the story of creation is essentially the same.

Excerpt from God's Week of Work: Being an Examination of the Mosaic Six Days, in Relation to Natural and Physical Science; Together With an Exposition of Genesis, Chap; I. And Chap; II., 1-4; And a New Translation A similar request had been made before by the friends of Science and Revelation, and has been made since, again and again. Having incorporated some of my notes on Genesis chaps. I. Ii., 1-4, into the body of the Lecture, that the subject might be presented in as complete a form as the limits of the work would allow, I venture to offer it in this form to the public hoping that it may, in some measure, tend to strengthen the faith of thinking young men in the Bible, and to induce many of them to study more and more both the Works and Word of God, and praying that this humble service may be accepted by Him, who is our common Lord and Master.

Excerpt from Instruction in the Mosaic Religion IN an age, when science of every kind is pursued with avidity, no astonishment can be manifested at the attempt of an Israelite to give his brethren a clear knowledge of the religion which they have inherited from their ancestors; Since, if it is of any importance Whatever to any portion of the human family to profess a certain creed, it is also highly necessary, that the principal features at least of this creed Should be familiar to all who profess the same. I claim no great literary merit on account of the present per formance for, although the labour bestowed on it has been very great, and considerable additions and alterations made (particularly to the tenth and eleventh chapters), yet, the road was already so clearly pointed out by the very learned author of the original, that I had nothing more to do, than to make as good a use of the materials, as my limited abilities and inexperience would permit. How I have succeeded, I leave others to judge and claim no par ticular indulgence, because it is my first literary performance of any note. But at the same time I beg leave to state, that I shall not hold myself responsible for any difference of Opinion, which may happen to exist between myself and any of my readers; and I hope, that this difference Will not, as in justice it should not, deprive me of as candid and impartial a judgment, as though we agreed upon every point. If I have not obtained the good opinion of the public, I have endeavoured to deserve it. For in the first place, Ihave spared no application to render the work, though small in size, as perfect as I could possibly make it; _and next, I flatter myself, that the typographical execution is of such general correctness as will strike every one as worthy of commendation. I can safely aver, that the Hebrew, which is distributed throughout these pages, will be found to be as free from errors as can well be expected, for every passage has been carefully revised with the best editions of the Bible. That some small errors may nevertheless have escaped both in the English and Hebrew, despite of the care bestowed upon both, I cannot doubt but no one can demand perfection, when perfection is beyond the reachof man, and literary labours must share the fate ofevery other human undertaking.

In times of war and in peace, from the earliest days of the Roman Empire to our own, Westerners have journeyed to the lands of the middle east, bringing back accounts of their adventures and impressions. Yet it was never a one way exchange. From the first Arab embassy to the Vikings in the 9th century to the internet musings of the Taliban, A Middle East Mosaic collects a rich, boisterous literature of cultural exchange. We see the American Revolution through the eyes of a Moroccan Ambassador and the French Revolution through a series of Imperial Ottoman proclamations. We find surprising portraits of Napoleon ("a brigand chief"), TE Lawrence and Ataturk. We learn what George Washington and Machiavelli through t of Turkish politics and hear Flaubert and Thackeray rail against eastern crime and punishment. We peer into Voltaire's business correspondence and follow the footsteps of Mark Twain, Richard Burton, Gertrude Bell and Ibn Battutta, the Marco Polo of the east. Great discoveries are recorded - an Egyptian Ambassador is introduced to electricity and dismisses the spectacle as "frankish trickery;" another pronounces the invention of a secure mail system most useful for assignations. We enter the harem with a 16th century organ maker and emerge with Ottoman reform. It was not until the sixteenth century that the first middle eastern rulers entered into diplomatic relations with European rulers, but trade often precede diplomatic relations. Business men from the days of the crusades against Saladin to the oil prospecting of Samuel Cox and his descendents have seen great possibilities in the markets of the middle east. And throughout the centuries we have been united by war. We witness the outbreak of the Crimean war with Karl Marx and enter Egypt with Napoleon. We observe Arab customs with George Patton and visit Baghdad and Cairo with George F. Kennan in the second world war. When Usama bin Ladin rails against "Jews and crusaders" occupying the holy land, he is rehearsing a grievance with a long history. This symphony of voices, full of wit and wisdom, spite and wonder, suspicion, befuddlement and occasional insight, is ordered and explained by our foremost living historian of the middle east. The fruit of a lifetime of scholarship and erudition, A Middle East Mosaic is a dazzling capstone to a brilliant career. In a spirited reappraisal of western views of the east and eastern views of the west over the last two thousand years, Bernard Lewis gives us a brilliant over-view of 2,000 years of commerce, diplomacy, war and exploration. This book is a delight, a treasury of stories drawn from letters, diaries and histories, but also from unpublished archives and previously untranslated accounts. Diplomats and interpreters, slaves, soldiers, pilgrims and missionaries, princes and spies, businessmen, doctors and priests all pour forth their stories of the people and events that shaped history. A Middle East Mosaic cannot fail to appeal to anyone with an appetite for history and a curiosity about the vagaries of cultural exchange.
