Caerlan (Or Cairlan)
was an Irish prelate. A short memoir of this saint is given by Colgan (Acta Sanctorum, p. 744), from which we learn that he was born in the district of the Hy-Niellan or O'Niallan, County Armagh. He was over a monastery in the same place about 546; and was finally raised to the episcopate of Armagh, succeeding Feidlimid Finn in 578. His death took place in 588, and he is commemorated March 24. See also Lanigan, Eccl. Hist. ῥof Ireland, ii, 183; O'Donovan, i, 212, n., 213; Ware's Bishops.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
