CHRISTADELPHIANS (Xpwroi i sXcboi, " brothers of Christ ")

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 274 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CHRISTADELPHIANS (Xpwroi i sXcboi, " brothers of Christ ") , sometimes also called Thomasites, a community founded in 1848 by John
Thomas
  (1805-1871), who, after studying
medicine
  in London, migrated to Brooklyn, N.Y., U.S.A. There he at first joined the " Campbellites," but afterwards struck out independently, preaching largely upon the application of Hebrew prophecy and of the Book of
Revelation
  to current and future events. Both in America and in
Great
  Britain he gathered a number of adherents, and formed a community which has extended to several English-speaking countries. It consists of exclusive " ecclesias," with neither ministry nor organization. The members meet on Sundays to " break bread '" and discuss the Bible. Their theology is strongly millenarian, centering in the
hope
  of a world-wide
theocracy
  with its seat at Jerusalem. Holding a
doctrine
  of conditional immortality," they believe that they alone have the true exegesis of Scripture, and that the " faith of Christendom" is" compounded of the fables predicted by Paul." No
statistics
  of the community are published. It probably numbers from two to three thousand members. A monthly magazine, The Christadelphian, is published in
Birmingham
 .
See R. Roberts, Dr
Thomas
 , his Life and
Work
  (1884).
