Elizabeth Dilling was a widely known critic of Judaism prior World War II until her death in 1967. In writing Jewish Religion, Ms. Dilling chose her research materials with care. Her primary source, the Soncino Talmud, was produced by the finest scholars of Judaism. The Rodkinson Talmud was a monumental work endorsed by Rabbi I. M. Wise, a pioneer of Reform Judaism. Rabbi Dr. Louis Finkelstein, author of The Pharisees: The Sociological Background of Their Faith, became president of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America shortly after his book was published, where he was remained for more than 30 years. Thus, Ms. Dilling’s research spanned the best that Conservative, Orthodox, and Reform Judaism had to offer in the English language. She also drew from the 12-volume Jewish Encyclopedia, which, though a century old, still stands as a monument to Jewish mainstream scholarship; the 10-volume Universal Jewish Encyclopedia from the early 1940′s; US Government State Department Records, The American Hebrew periodical, and other publications. More on Elizabeth Dilling — Foreword from The Plot Against Christianity Foreword from The Jewish Religion: Its Influence Today Come and Hear™ is proud to present the full text of The Jewish Religion: Its Influence Today, here, on line. In this book, Elizabeth Dilling presents a Christian’s critique of the Talmud as it interprets Biblical teachings. The printed book contains hundreds of photocopied exhibits and references into the Soncino Babylonian Talmud and the King James Bible, encyclopedias, State Department papers, periodicals, the Soncino Talmud, and rabbinical writings. We have used the second edition of this scholarly 1963 classic, with scanned images of all her exhibits and hotlinks into the source text of each, wherever they could be located.

Foreword

lizabeth Dilling Stokes was born, raised, and educated in Chicago. After
attending the University of Chicago she married, and for many years devoted
her life to her children, social activities on the North Shore of Chicago,
and being a concert harpist. After hearing of the great “humanitarian experiment”
in Soviet Russia, she traveled there in 1931, and was able to go behind the
scenes. She was shocked at the forced labor, the squalid living quarters,
and deplorable living conditions, and the atmosphere of fear created by the
Soviet dictatorship.

She was most shocked by the virulent anti-Christianity of the atheist Communist
regime.

Following her return to the United States she lectured and wrote about what
she had seen, realizing from the opposition which immediately arose that
a substantial Marxist movement was active in the United States.  In
1934 her first book The Red Network was published, and exposé
of the persons and organizations furthering Red causes in the United States.
  In 1936, her second book, The Roosevelt Red Record and Its
Background, was published.

Almost immediately after these books were published, she was attacked as
“anti-semitic,” although she had actually offered her anti-Communist services
to Jewish organizations, and knew nothing of organized Jewish involvement
in the Marxist movement.  After researching and studying, however, in
1940 she published her third book The Octopus, which dealt with these
subjects.

After World War II commenced, Mrs. Dilling became convinced that, despite
President Roosevelt’s protestations that not one American boy would ever
again fight on foreign soil, there was a movement afoot to involve the United
States, with the result that a substantial part of the world would be communized
later.  In 1941, she led a Mother’s March on Washington to oppose the
“Lend Lease” bill, proclaimed to help keep us out of war by its sponsors,
but proving the last step for our involvement.  The bill passed by only
one vote.  A few months later, the United States went to war.

In 1944, Mrs. Dilling’s views involved her in the now infamous mass “sedition”
trial.  The case was ultimately dismissed  by a Federal Court as
“a travesty on justice.”

She was later remarried to Jeremiah Stokes, a Christian anti-Communist writer,
and she continued to write and lecture in behalf of Christianity and
Constitutional Americanism, first publishing this book in 1964.

Mrs. Dilling Stokes died in 1966 at the age of 72.
