I say "Paul" as I say "Matthew" or "John," for brevity's sake, not at all as accepting the ascriptions of the books. Van Manen's thesis that all the Epistles of "Paul" are pseudepigraphic is probably very near the truth. [159] The retention of "devils" in the Revised Version, with "Gr. demons" only in the margin, is an abuse. For the Greeks, there were good daimons as well as bad; and "demon" is not the real equivalent of "daimon." [160] C.M. 179, note. [161] Cp.

In regard to my former specification of such influences (P.C. 204), Dr. Conybeare alleges (p. 49) that I "hint" that the Jesuist mystery-play was performed "in the temples (sic) built by Herod at Damascus and Jericho, and in the theatres of the Greek town at Gadara." This cannot be regarded as one of Dr. Conybeare's hallucinations: it is one of his random falsifications. No "hint" of the kind was ever given. The mystery-play is always represented by me as secretly performed. [165] Cp. Ezra and Nehemiah. [166] P.C. 168 sq. [167] Schürer, as cited, iii, 225. [168] Thus Dr. Conybeare, constantly.
