Dabius (David, otherwise called Dobi, Biteus, or Mobiou), an Irish priest and saint, preached with great success in his own country and in Alba, and was patron saint of Domnach Cluana, now Donachcloney, in the county of Down, and of Kippen, in Scotland, where a famous church was dedicated under his patronage, by the name of Movean. We still have Kippendavie besides Dunblane. To him, probably, more than to St. David or Dewi of Wales, are the Celtic dedications to St. David to be assigned. He is commemorated July 22.
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
