Excerpt from Religious and Moral Ideas in Babylonia and Assyria The names of mighty Babylon and proud Assyria will never be forgotten, and their memory will never cease among men. So long as modern civilization lasts; so long as Christianity sways men's hearts; and so long as the Bible is read, Babylonia and Assyria, Nineveh and Babylon will be names to conjure with. The excavations begun in the mounds of the Tigris Euphrates valley not more than a century ago have revealed many things about these ancient peoples. Much more remains. To be done. There are still many problems to be solved, many gaps to be filled, and many phenomena to be interpreted. This little book, by a student and lover of these ancient peoples, can give only a glimpse of one of the most fascinating problems of Semitic culture. The religious and moral ideas in Babylonia and Assyria, not only because of their close and unique relation to the Old Testament, and through it to the New Testa ment and to Christianity, but also because of them selves, are second to none in human interest.
