Page "Joseph of Arimathea" Paragraph 20

Tertullian does not say how the Gospel came to Britain before AD 222.

However, Eusebius of Caesarea, ( AD 260 – 340 ), one of the earliest and most comprehensive of church historians, wrote of Christ's disciples in Demonstratio Evangelica, saying that " some have crossed the Ocean and reached the Isles of Britain.

" Saint Hilary of Poitiers ( AD 300 – 376 ) also wrote that the Apostles had built churches and that the Gospel had passed into Britain.
