Jacob Z
Jacob (; ; ar, يَعْقُوب, Yaʿqūb; gr, Ἰακώβ, Iakṓb), later given the name Israel, is regarded as a patriarch of the Israelites and is an important figure in Abrahamic religions, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Jacob first appears in the Book of Genesis, where he is described as the son of Isaac and Rebecca, and the grandson of Abraham, Sarah, and Bethuel. According to the biblical account, he was the second-born of Isaac's children, the elder being Jacob's fraternal twin brother, Esau. Jacob is said to have bought Esau's birthright and, with his mother's help, deceived his aging father to bless him instead of Esau. Later in the narrative, following a severe drought in his homeland of Canaan, Jacob and his descendants, with the help of his son Joseph (who had become a confidant of the pharaoh), moved to Egypt where Jacob died at the age of 147. He is supposed to have been buried in the Cave of Machpelah. Jacob had twelve sons through four women, his ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Enchiridion Of Dietrich Philips
The ''Enchiridion'', ''Manual'' or ''Handbook'' of Dirk Philips is alternatively titled ''The Handbook of the Christian Doctrine and Religion, compiled (by the grace of God) from the Holy Scriptures for the benefit of all lovers of the Truth''. The ''Enchiridion'' had passed through numerous editions in the Dutch—in which it was originally written and published—and later in German as well as in French. The ''Enchiridion'' (first Dutch ed. 1564, many Dutch and German reprints) contains the tract ''Een lieffelycke Vermaninghe'' (van den ban) first printed in 1558, a most vigorous defense of strict avoidance. A second writing on the subject, ''Naeghelaten Schrift van Ban ends Mydinghe'', first published in Dutch in 1602 attached to his ''Van die Echt der Christenen'', was also reprinted in both Dutch and German. Enchiridion contains five letters and eleven treatises and retains influence with conservative Anabaptist sects, including the Amish and some Mennonite Mennonites are g ...

Anabaptist
Anabaptism (from New Latin language, Neo-Latin , from the Greek language, Greek : 're-' and 'baptism', german: Täufer, earlier also )Since the middle of the 20th century, the German-speaking world no longer uses the term (translation: "Re-baptizers"), considering it biased. The term (translation: "Baptizers") is now used, which is considered more impartial. From the perspective of their persecutors, the "Baptizers" baptized for the second time those "who as infants had already been baptized". The denigrative term Anabaptist, given to them by others, signifies rebaptizing and is considered a polemical term, so it has been dropped from use in modern German. However, in the English-speaking world, it is still used to distinguish the Baptizers more clearly from the Baptists, a Protestant sect that developed later in England. Compare their self-designation as "Brethren in Christ" or "Church of God": . is a Protestantism, Protestant List of Christian movements, Christian movement ...
