John Gifford Bellett (19 July 1795 – 10 October 1864) was an Irish Christian writer and theologian, and was influential in the beginning of the Plymouth Brethren movement. ==Life== Bellett was born in Dublin, Ireland. He was educated first at the Grammar School in Exeter, England, then at Trinity College Dublin, where he excelled in Classics,〔http://www.victorianweb.org/religion/plymouth.html〕 and afterwards in London. It was in Dublin that, as a layman, he first became acquainted with John Nelson Darby, then a minister in the established Church of Ireland, and in 1829 the pair began meeting with others such as Edward Cronin and Francis Hutchinson for communion and prayer.〔http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/Biographies/jgbellett.html〕 Bellett had become a Christian as a student and by 1827 was a layman serving the Church. In a letter to James McAllister,〔(Early Days of the Brethren Movement )〕 written in 1858, he describes the episcopal charge of William Magee, Archbishop of Dublin, that sought for greater state protection for the Church. The Erastian nature of the charge offended Darby particularly, but also many others including Bellett.〔Grayson Carter, ''Anglican Evangelicals'', OUP 2001, p. 212, ISBN 978-0-19-827008-9〕 The pair bonded particularly over prophetic issues, and attended meetings and discussions together at the home of Lady Powerscourt, and Bellett and Darby (along with the Brethren movement in particular) were particularly associated with dispensationalism and premillennialism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Gifford Bellett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
