I've added whatever I could find on this chap, since he is important for the Ante-Nicene Fathers. But... how little anything else he did matters now! Roger Pearse 21:14, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't he be listed as Arthur Cleveland Coxe ? Cleveland Coxe seems to be taken from the Encyclopedia Brittanica. I hesitate to change a title, since it could effect links and such.

And this charge of piracy needs a reference or removal. Apparently Coxe did found the Christian Literature Publishing Company, of Newark, NJ and Buffalo, NY that published the editions.

Schaff says "While the arrangement is entirely satisfactory to the Edinburgh publishers, it is so economical as to place these writings within practicable reach of the entire American ministry." http://books.google.com/books?id=LUQ9AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA176 without a hint of controversy.

Clearly there are often publishing controversies, the American editions were considered substantial improvements over Edinburgh, but because of the integrity nature of the accusation, and the fact that it is not in any of the bios referenced in the article, I will remove it. It can be restored without my objection, but it must have a real and proper citation to be studied.

The notes of Coxe on the heavenly witnesses are very perceptive and important, even today. Roger. He wrote some fine stuff, and poetry and ballads, and played important roles in many controversies. Your dismissive comment is a bit unusual !

RE: Article name – as you'll see from the history, I moved this article from Arthur Cleveland Coxe to Cleveland Coxe because there are more than 8,000 Google hits for "Cleveland Coxe" -"Arthur Cleveland Coxe" - mostly of the form "A. Cleveland Coxe", so I think I must've assumed that his given forename was Cleveland and his surname Coxe. However, I now see there are several hundred hits like "Arthur C. Coxe", which would suggest that his given forename was Arthur and his surname Coxe. Of course "A. Cleveland Coxe" could be Initial Double-Surname, and he was merely often given only his second surname. So Arthur Coxe or Arthur Cleveland Coxe? DBD 16:23, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
