Scope and content
Halford, Shipston on Stour. Dated 27 July, 1912 - Has been reading 'The Golden Bough' and disagrees with Frazer's hypothesis about Jesus and his connection to the tradition of using prisoners to play Haman and Mordecai; disagrees in the first place that the Jews at Jerusalem had any such custom; does not mean to agree with 'the extravagant scepticism of men like [Arthur] Drews'; but agrees that the Synoptic Gospels are not earlier than the destruction of Jerusalem.
