A lecture by James Barr published as a booklet by the University of Southampton in 1968, the year he also published Comparative Philology and the Text of the Old Testament, while he was Professor of Semitic Languages and Literatures at Manchester. Its subject, as its title says, is the continuity between Judaism and the Bible. The text was later reprinted under the title Judaism—Its Continuity with the Bible in a section on Judaism in Bible and Interpretation: The Collected Essays of James Barr, edited by John Barton for Oxford University Press.
