Bakewell, John (2), an English Congregational minister, was born at Cheadle, Staffordshire, Sept. 6, 1802. He was converted when about twenty years of age, and, on removing to Leicester, joined the Rev. Robert Hall's Church. Mr. Bakewell studied a short time at the Baptist College of Bristol, and in 1826 entered the ministry of the Methodist New Connection in the Hanlev Circuit. In 1841 he was made editor of the magazines of the Connection. In 1849, feeling unequal to the itinerant life, he gave up his position as minister of that body. Mr. Bakewell then went to Notting Hill, joined the Congregational Church, and, though he never took any regular pastoral charge, preached often as supply until his death, Oct. 25, 1863. Mr. Bakewell was retiring in disposition, benevolent, and eminently pious. His appeals were earnest and sometimes tearful. He was a man of prayer. See (Lond.) Cong. Year-book, 1864, p. 199.
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
