Cadizadelites are a modern Mohammedan sect who resemble, in some degree, the ancient Greek stoics. Their faith and practice seems to be a confused mixture of Mohammedanism, Christianity, and Judaism. They pray at funerals for the souls of the departed, calling upon the dead to remember that "there is but one God only." They read the Bible in the Sclavonic tongue, and the Koran in the Arabic. They love Christians, and protect them from insults on the part of other Mohammedans. They believe that Mohammed is the Paraclete or Comforter. They hate images and the sign of the cross, and practice circumcision, claiming in this to follow the example of Christ.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
