Divinity student cracks religious code
A divinity student from the University of St Andrews has cracked a religious code that has baffled academics for generations.
Jonny Woods has worked out how to read shorthand notes left by leading Baptist theologian Andrew Fuller.
Hundreds of pages of his sermon notes are held in archives, but until now they have been a mystery to academics.
The third-year undergraduate was able to decipher the shorthand after an academic traced a longhand equivalent.
Who was the theologian?
Andrew Fuller, who was born in Cambridgeshire in 1754, became a Baptist minister, and is best known for founding the Baptist Missionary Society.
