IRVING, Edward (1792-1834):
Scottish PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER whose encouragement of speaking in tongues and CHARISMATIC gifts, arguments against political reform, CATHOLIC emancipation, and the University of London—which he called "the SYNAGOGUE of SATAN"—led to a CHURCH SCHISM. His followers formed the CATHOLIC APOSTOLIC CHURCH. His writings include: For the Oracles of God (1832); The Orthodox and Catholic Doctrine of Our Lord's Human Nature (1830).
