Arnold

Gottfried Arnold (1666–1714).
Gottfrid Arnolds Unparteyische Kirchen- und Ketzer-Historie, von Anfang des Neuen Testaments biss auf das Jahr Christi 1688.
Frankfurt: Thomas Fritsch, 1699. Volume one only. (33262)

Arnold was a scholar of church history, a writer of devotional works, and an influential German radical Pietist. His two-part magnum opus, “Impartial History of the Church and Heretics,” was a work that proposed greater toleration of Christian diversity and made the study of heretical groups a legitimate topic for academic research.
