Abstract

Throughout the whole of that interesting field of Theological Literature which deals with the genesis and course of religious movements, there are probably none of these whose history, even whose name, is so little known to English students, as that of the Chassidim.And yet it would be difficult to point, in comparatively recent times, to a Dissenting movement more strikingly complete in its development, more suggestive of analogy, more full of interest in its original purpose, more pregnant of warning in its decay.
