Footnote

a Professor Russell states in his book The Devil​—Perceptions of Evil From Antiquity to Primitive Christianity: “The fact that the Devil is not fully developed in the Old Testament is not a ground for rejecting his existence in modern Jewish and Christian theology. That would be the genetic fallacy: the notion that the truth of a word​—or a concept—​is to be found in its earliest form. Rather, historical truth is development through time.”​—Page 174.
