Abecedarian
Abecedarians were a
16th century German sect of
Anabaptists who affected an absolute disdain for all human knowledge, contending that
God would enlighten his elect from within themselves, giving them knowledge of necessary truths by visions and ecstasies, with which human learning would interfere.They rejected every other means of instruction, and claimed that to be saved one must even be ignorant of the first letters of the
alphabet; whence their name, A-B-C-darians. They also considered the study of
theology as a species of
idolatry, and regarded learned men who did any preaching as falsifiers of God's word.
