This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1849 edition. Excerpt: ... where Origen and the younger Clement hold their school. A.d. 70. Jerusalem is now about to be surrounded with an army; the Jews of Jericho have already fled to the mountains; will the Christians of Jerusalem follow them? Upon their conduct hangs the answer to this question, Did they understand, by the approach of Vespasian, the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel?
