:''For the stonecarver, see Nathaniel Holmes (stonecarver). Nathaniel Holmes or Homes〔Also Nathanael.〕 (1599–1678) was an English Independent theologian and preacher. He has been described as a “Puritan writer of great ability". ==Life== He graduated with a B.A. from Exeter College, Oxford in 1620; and with an M.A. from Magdalen Hall, Oxford in 1623. He later founded an Independent church, with Henry Burton;〔''The Concise Dictionary of National Biography''.〕 he was rector of St Mary Staining, Oat Lane, Aldersgate, in London to 1662. In 1644 his ''Gospell-Musick'' defended and promoted psalm-singing, and reprinted the preface to the ''Bay Psalm Book''. A convinced millenarian, he preached to the House of Commons in 1641, under the influence of Thomas Brightman. In 1650, in another sermon to the Commons after the battle of Dunbar, he cited the Book of Daniel and Book of Revelation. He has been considered a follower of Johann Heinrich Alsted. He with Henry Jessey corresponded with Menasseh ben Israel, about the official return of Jews to England, and the supposed Lost Tribes found in North America. This interest was prompted by John Dury’s interest, and was shared with others.〔. (This source also mentions Samuel Hartlib and Margaret Fell.)〕 His philo-Semitism has been noted, for example, by Werner Sombart. 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「Nathaniel Holmes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
