John Thomas

THOMAS, John, founder of a sect, born in London, England, 12 April, 1805; died in Jersey City, New Jersey, 5 March, 1871. He was educated in London, and became demonstrator of anatomy at St. Thomas's hospital in that city. In 1850 he came to this country and joined the Campbeliite Baptists, but left this sect to found another, whose members he called Christadelphians. In 1860 he returned to England, where he delivered lectures, gaining many converts to his theories there as well as in this country. He edited the "Apostolic Advocate" from 1832 till 1837, in 1845-'7 the "Herald of the Future Age," and from 1851 till 1861 the " Herald of the Kingdom." In addition to numerous pamphlets, he published "Elpis Israel" (London, 1848), and "Eureka," an exposition of the Apocalypse (3 vols., 1860). Robert Roberts, of Birmingham, England, whom he appointed to be his successor, visited this country in 1888, and delivered lectures in various towns.
