This pamphlet, published in Cincinnati in 1848 by Robinson & Jones, presents an address by 'An Israelite' (identified as Abraham A.Lindo) to the Christian world. Lindo asserts that Jewish people share the same concerns as Christians regarding attempts to undermine belief in divine revelation. He argues that God's covenant with the Jewish people remains unbroken and that the world owes its civilization to the revelation at Sinai. He further contends that Christianity, while initially a Jewish sect, has become distorted from its original monotheistic roots. This is a first edition.
