Excerpt from Judaism and Christianity: A Sermon
I shall speak to-night, brethren and friends, of the rela tion Of Judaism to Christianity. I have felt that such a study will not only, at this day, have a fresh interest for us as devout scholars, but will bear in the truest way on the work of your Society. There has been, I may well say, no time in the history of our faith when we were abler than now to Open with all the lights of Older and newer learning this wonderful book of the Hebrew Revelation. It is in this domain that the keenest questions Of a critical age have been raised, and unbelief has sought to under mine the whole fabric. But in proportion as a Christian science has explored the record with fearless honesty, while it has given up many fancies of past interpreters, the supernatural truth has stood forth clearer and stronger. It is thus we will study it. As we pass in review this Divine history, we shall see it linked with the whole plan of God in the training of the race; we shall see its faith, its worship, its social movements pointing to Christ, the fullness of times; and in that central light we shall know our spiritual heritage, our perfect law of liberty.

Edward Abiel Washburn was an American Protestant Episcopal clergyman.
Background
Edward Abiel Washburn was born in Boston, Massachussets, the son of Abiel and Paulina (Tucker) Washburn, and a descendant of John Washburn who settled in Duxbury, Massachussets, in 1632; the missionary educator, George Washburn, was a cousin. Edward's father, a merchant of means, was able to give the boy every advantage.
Education
He was prepared for college at the Boston Latin School and in 1838 graduated from Harvard with high honors. Reared a Congregationalist, he studied for the ministry at Andover Theological Seminary and at the Yale Divinity School.
Career
He was licensed to preach by the Worcester Association of Congregational Ministers in 1842. Reading, reflection, and the influence of friends in the Episcopal Church led him, however, to enter that communion, and on July 12, 1844, he was admitted to the diaconate at Trinity Church, Boston, and on October 9 of the following year, was advanced to the priesthood. After serving as rector of St. Paul's Church, Newburyport, Massachussets, until 1851, he went abroad for two years, during which time he visited Egypt, Palestine, India, and China. Upon his return he became, in the spring of 1853, rector of St. John's Church, Hartford, Connecticut. While serving St. John's he also lectured on ecclesiastical polity at the Berkeley Divinity School, Middletown, Connecticut In 1862 he was called to St. Mark's, Philadelphia, where he remained three years. From 1865 until his death he was rector of Calvary Church, New York. Next to Phillips Brooks, perhaps, he was in his day the leading representative of broad churchmanship in the Episcopal communion. He was foremost in the little group which established The Living Church, a periodical embodying the point of view and spirit of the more liberal churchmen, and it was edited by his assistant at Calvary Church, William Graham Sumner. The paper was of too intellectual a character to be popular and survived but a year (1869 - 70). Washburn was also one of the original members of "The Club, " a more or less informal association of clergymen, the greatest achievement of which was its successful leadership of the movement which resulted in the establishment of the Church Congress. He was interested in the work of the Evangelical Alliance, attending its meetings in the United States and abroad, and on two occasions, 1873 and 1879, presenting papers at its sessions. He died in New York City in his sixty-second year.
Achievements
His scholarly attainments found employment in his services as a member of the American New Testament company of the revisers of the Bible, and in his labors on "The Two Epistles of Paul to Timothy, " 1869, a translation and enlargement of J. J. van Oosterzee's work, which, with Dr. Edwin Harwood, he prepared for Philip Schaff's edition of John P. Lange's A Commentary on the Holy Scriptures. He contributed numerous articles to periodicals and in 1875 published The Social Law of God, sermons on the Ten Commandments, which went through six or more editions. After his death other writings of his were collected and issued under the following titles: Sermons (1882); Epochs in Church History and Other Essays (1883), edited by C. C. Tiffany; Voices from a Busy Life, a volume of poems which show some skill in versification, but little originality in thought or form; and The Beatitudes and Other Sermons (1884).

Personality
Washburn was distinguished by intellectual and moral qualities of a high order. All who knew him paid tribute to his lofty manhood, his spiritual power, and his ministry of honest convictions. He had a rich knowledge of the history, philosophy, and literature of many lands. His mind was predominantly analytical, and he welcomed the modern critical attitude toward the Bible and theology, convinced that it would increase the growth of Christian life. He expressed his beliefs with boldness and in vigorous, eloquent style, though his preaching was of the kind that appeals to the thoughtful rather than to the masses.
Connections
On June 16 married Frances H. Lindsley of Washington, D. C. , by whom he had a daughter.
