Nain
Nein, the present representative of this place, so interesting in New-Test. history, is thus described in the Memoirs to the Ordnance Survey (2:86):
"This little village stands on a small plateau at the foot of Jehel ed- Duhy, in a position elevated above the plain. It is of stone and mud, with a little mosque called Mukam Sidna Aisa on the north. There are numerous traces of' ruins, extending beyond the boundary of the modern hamlet to the north, showing the place to have been once larger; but these ruins have a modern appearance. There is a small spring north of the village; a second, Ain el-Baz, exists on the west, and beside it are rock-cut tombs, much. defaced, and a tree." (See illustration on following page.)
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.
