fact that a form of megalomania was

gulf separating the Jews from the Christian-Jews
was bridged, the Christian-Jews were compelled to

which were discovered by the Jewish instinct, for

Greek moral philosophy had done everything
that could be done to prepare the way for
moral-fanaticism, even among Greeks and Romans,
and to render it palatable.
