'The little essay here reprinted [was] delivered before the Jewish Historical Society in 1924. It has long since been out of print and unavailable....it was one of the first treatments of the subject by a professional ethnologist. Since it was written an enormous literature has accumulated on the subject....my own views have changed to a certain extent....About the existence of some form of monotheism among practically all primitive peoples there can be little doubt. The only point in question is whether we find a pure monotheism and not some form of monolatry or henotheism and whether it is the belief of a comparatively small number of individuals, a special group, or of the tribe as such.' --Preface
