Arnoldists, followers of Arnold of Brescia (q.v.). Many seem to have adhered to the doctrines of Arnold even after his death, and to have propagated them in Upper Italy. The Arnoldists were condemned by Pope Lucius III at the council of Verona in 1184. The name occurs also later, as in a law of Frederick II against the heretics (1224); but it is doubtful whether the name was merely copied from the condemnatory decree, or whether they continued to exist as a sect.
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
