Judah's Response to Reed's Questions Regarding Judaism and Christianity, 1847

Description

Letter from Uriah H. Judah to Isaac Leeser. Judah received a letter from Mr. M. Reed and submitted it to a learned colleague for consideration for publication in the Occident. He states that his business matters prevent him from answering Reed's questions fully himself. Reed's letter, dated December 9, 1847, poses three questions regarding Judaism's role in spreading knowledge of God among idolatrous nations, the Jewish community's view of Christian Bible distribution, and the possibility of benevolent union between Jews and Christians beyond common secular benevolence.
