Ancient Scriptures and the Modern Jew by David Baron (Fourth Edition 1909)

First published in 1901, The Ancient Scriptures and the Modern Jew is a substantial work of biblical interpretation and religious argument by David Baron (1855–1926), a Jewish-born Christian writer associated with the Hebrew Christian movement in London.

Structured in two parts, the book offers connected studies of key passages from the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament), presenting them in a continuous, thematic progression and relating them to the author’s view of God’s unfolding purpose in history. It also addresses the tensions Baron perceived between ancient biblical texts and the realities of Jewish life in the modern world, making it both a devotional/theological work and a revealing historical document of late-19th/early-20th-century religious debate.
