A Retrospect of the Past: An Address to the Christian World by an Israelite

This pamphlet, published in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1848, is an address by 'An Israelite' to the Christian world. The author, Abraham Alexandre Lindo, asserts that Israelites share the concerns of Christians regarding attempts to undermine belief in divine revelation. Lindo argues that God's covenant with the Jews remains unbroken and that the world owes its civilization to the Jewish revelation at Sinai. He contends that Christianity, though originating as a Jewish sect, has become distorted from its original monotheistic foundation. This is a first edition. Rosenbach 637. Singerman 1026. 334 NUC 0382558 [3]. OCLC 19172246 [6]. Not in Sabin, Thomson, Eberstadt, Decker. Lindo was a communal worker in Jamaica who later settled in the USA.
