Encyclopedia of Religion entry for

Abrahamites

1. A religious sect of the ninth century. They revived the teaching of the Paulianists, and denied the divinity of Christ. Their name was taken from Abraham or Ibrahim of Antioch. 2. A Bohemian religious sect, known also as Bohemian Deists. They appeared in 1782, and were so called because they claimed to represent the religion professed by Abraham before his circumcision. They were suppressed by force.
