Shaped by the "history of religions" approach to the Old Testament popularized in Europe by Julius Wellhausen, Toy came to believe that the writers of the New Testament—using a rabbinical hermeneutic of their day—misunderstood the original meaning of several Old Testament passages when they placed a christological emphasis on them. ” (EJ) CONTENTS: English witchcraft and James the First, by G.
