To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the first place, it Digitized by VjOOQ IC FOURTH STAGE OF RELIGIOUS DEVELOPMENT 253 engendered the idea that chastity in a woman might repre* sent the most worthy condition in which she could approach the divine presence. For her chastity was the recognition of the fact that she was not fit to perform the functions that were demanded of men, and a willingness on her part to occupy a subsidiary position in the worship of the gods; thus freeing men from a drag which prevented them from rising ...to the highest possible levels of religious fervour.
The chastity of women therefore became commendable and meritorious in a religious sense at the very same time that the religious consciousness enforced the most out- rageous imchastity on the man. That this is so we know from the fact that even in Babylonian times there came to exist in the worship of the temples a class of women on whom chastity was rendered obligatory. Their position was assured and confirmed by special laws; but the reader must remember that this public recognition and appreci- ation of purity in women was not the result of any high estimate of their character.
