Asaheim in Norse mythology, is the eastern country from which the Asas (q.v.) come. It is doubtful where the same lies. Some designate it as being in ancient Troy, and believe that the Asas emigrated from that place after its destruction. Others maintain that Asaheim lay on the river Don. Asaheim must not be confounded with Asgard. The latter is the palace in which the Northern gods and goddesses live until the end of the world.
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
