Excerpt from The Crucifixion Viewed From a Jewish Standpoint: A Lecture Delivered by Invitation, Before the Chicago Institute for Morals, Religion and Letters Not to tarry too long by these and other details of difference, I may sum up the character of the fourth gospel in contradistinction to the others, as an ideal, pneumatic work. Its home was not Palestine but Asia hiinor, and the date of composition cannot be placed earlier than 150 after Christ. This comparison of the fourth gospel with the three others, shows how the pictures of Jesus gradually formed and changed, enlarged and deepened. Current in the mouth of his disciples and among the young churches, were many stories about his deeds, his birth, his life and his death. As is the case always with such tradition, they grow steadily from small beginnings as they pass from mouth to mouth, and from generation to generation, and often are enlarged by the addition of foreign elements.

Excerpt from My Religion and the War: A Discourse Last Sunday at the first session of the Conference on Religion and Synagog held in this auditorium a young and brilliant colleague of mine inspired and in structed those of us who sat at his feet in words of heartening wisdom. He convinced us that the lamp of religion will not be quenched by the torrents of blood and tears poured out at the shrine of hideous as well as holy War. He was sure that it was even now rising to new in?uence among men. Needless for me to say that I did not in all details share his confidence and construction. Perhaps his understand ing of the meaning of religion and its function and mine lie in different planes. But it was his masterful exposition that suggested to me the theme for our study this morning. Without trying to lift the cur tain from off the days and doings to come after the paroxysm of passion now gripping men shall be stilled, I would search for signposts along human ity's present Golgotha from the tell-tale inscriptions of which the religionist may draw some comfort.

Emil Gustav Hirsch was born on May 22, 1851 in Luxembourg. He was the son of the rabbi and philosopher Samuel Hirsch.
He studied at the University of Pennsylvania.
He moved to Philadelphia when he was 15 and later went to Germany, where he pursued postgraduate rabbinical studies.
For forty-two years (1880–1923), Hirsch served as the rabbi of Chicago Sinai Congregation, one of the oldest synagogues in the midwest. At this post, he became well known for an emphasis on social justice. From Chicago Sinai's pulpit, he delivered rousing sermons on the social ills of the day and many Chicagoans, Jew and gentile alike, were in attendance.
Appointed professor of rabbinical literature and philosophy at the University of Chicago in 1892, Hirsch also served on the Chicago Public Library board from 1885 to 1897. He took some part in politics as a member of the Republican Party.
