8. Ancient Judaism, therefore, had no symbolic
books, no articles of faith. No one was permitted
to swear to symbols, no one was called upon to
swear to articles of faith; nay, we have no
conception of what are called adjurations of
religious belief, or test-oaths, and we must
consider them as inadmissible, according to the
spirit of true Judaism.
No Creed?
