Taylor, Thomas (1)
a learned Puritan divine, was born at Richmond, Yorkshire, in 1576; and was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, of which he became fellow, and afterwards Hebrew lecturer. On leaving the university, he settled first at Watford, Hertfordshire; then at Reading, Berkshire; and in 1625 he obtained the living of St. Mary Aldermanbury, London, which he retained during the remainder of his life. He died early in 1632. His contemporaries unite in giving him a high character for learning, piety, and usefulness. Among his works are, Commentary on the Epistle of St. Paul written to Titus (Camb. 1612, 4to; 1616, 1619, best ed. 1658, fol.): — Treatise of Christian Religion (1616, 4too): — Exposition upon Parable of the Sowe, etc. (Lond. 1621, 4to; 1631, 1634): — Christ's Victory over the Dragon (1633, 4to): — Christ Revealed, or the Old Testament Explained, etc.
(1635, sm. 4to). Other works, with Life, appeared (Lond. 1653, fol.). See Allibone, Dict. of Brit. and Amer. Authors, s.v.; Chalmers, Biog. Dict. s.v.
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.
