** Hippolytus of Rome

Hippolytus of Rome pictures the underworld ( Hades ) as a place where the righteous dead, awaiting in the bosom of Abraham their resurrection, rejoice at their future prospect, while the unrighteous are tormented at the sight of the " lake of unquenchable fire " into which they are destined to be cast.

According to Hippolytus of Rome ( Philosophumena, VII, xxiii ) Theodotus taught that Jesus was a man born of a virgin, according to the Council of Jerusalem, that he lived like other men, and was most pious ; but that at his baptism in the Jordan the " Christ " came down upon the man Jesus in the likeness of a dove.

At the beginning of the 3rd century, Hippolytus of Rome describes another feature of the ministry of a bishop, which is that of the " Spiritum primatus sacerdotii habere potestatem dimittere peccata ": the primate of sacrificial priesthood and the power to forgive sins.

According to Hippolytus of Rome, John Mark is not Mark the Cousin of Barnabas, and Barnabas did not dispute with Paul because of personal favor to a blood relative, but due to his character as his nickname Barnabas (" Son of Encouragement ") indicates.

Although many assume that the biblical Mark the Cousin of Barnabas ( Colossians 4: 10 ) is the same as John Mark ( Acts 12: 12, 25 ; 13: 5, 13 ; 15: 37 ) and Mark the Evangelist, the traditionally believed author of the Gospel of Mark, according to Hippolytus of Rome, the three " Mark " s are distinct persons.

This positive use carried over from Hellenic philosophy into Greek Orthodoxy as a critical characteristic of ascetic practices, through St. Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus, Hippolytus of Rome, Hegesippus, and Origen.

The works of Hippolytus of Rome and Irenaeus greatly influenced Jerome's interpretation of prophecy.

*( date unknown ) Josephus's Discourse to the Greeks concerning Hades ( spurious ; adaptation of " Against Plato, on the Cause of the Universe " by Hippolytus of Rome )

Duchesne and others have viewed the beginning of the Liber Pontificalis up until the biographies of Pope Felix III ( 483 – 492 ) as the work of a single author, who was a contemporary of Pope Anastasius II ( 496-498 ), relying on Catalogus Liberianus, which in turn draws from the papal catalogue of Hippolytus of Rome, and the Leonine Catalogue, which is no longer extant.

Bart D. Ehrman referred to a work by an early anonymous Christian writer ( perhaps Hippolytus, a Christian leader in Rome around 200 AD ) who in a commentary on the Old Testament book Song of Songs, wrote that Jesus first appeared to the women at the tomb.

The Apostolic Tradition, attributed to Hippolytus of Rome ( died 235 ), describes how to perform the ceremony of baptism ; it states that children were baptised first, and if any of them could not answer for themselves, their parents or someone else from their family was to answer for them.

His contemporary and enemy, the author of Philosophumena ( probably Hippolytus of Rome ), relates that Callixtus, as a young slave, was put in charge of collected funds by his master Carpophorus, funds which were given as alms by other Christians for the care of widows and orphans ; Callixtus lost the funds and fled from Rome, but was caught near Portus.

When Callixtus followed Zephyrinus as Bishop of Rome, he started to admit into the church converts from sects or schisms who had not done penance ( as we learn from Hippolytus, Philosophoumena IX. 7 ).

It is believed that the schismatic Hippolytus was still leading a rival Christian Congregation in Rome, and that he published the Philosophumena, an attack on Pope Urban's predecessor Callixtus.

He succeeded Pope Pontian, who had been deported from Rome to Sardinia ( along with the antipope Hippolytus ).

Many early Christian writers from the 2nd century, such as pseudo-Barnabas, Irenaeus, Justin Martyr and Hippolytus of Rome followed rabbinic Judaism ( the Mishna ) in interpreting Sabbath not as a literal day of rest, but as a thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ, which would follow six millennia of world history.

He and Hippolytus, church leader of Rome, are exiled to the mines of Sardinia.

Hippolytus of Rome knew Sabellius personally and mentioned him in the Philosophumena.

St. Hippolytus of Rome ( d. 235 ) sought to demonstrate that " the Ark was a symbol of the Christ who was expected ", stating that the vessel had its door on the east side – the direction from which Christ would appear at the Second Coming – and that the bones of Adam were brought aboard, together with gold, frankincense and myrrh ( the symbols of the Nativity of Christ ).

When Zeus struck down Apollo's son Asclepius with a lightning bolt for resurrecting Hippolytus from the dead ( transgressing Themis by stealing Hades's subjects ), Apollo in revenge killed the Cyclopes, who had fashioned the bolt for Zeus.

26 ) by Hippolytus, who appears in these chapters to have followed the Exegetica of Basilides.

The proper form of the name is evidently Abrasax, as with the Greek writers, Hippolytus, Epiphanias, Didymus ( De Trin.

In some versions, however, Theseus marries Hippolyta and in others, he marries Antiope and she does not die ; by this marriage with the Amazon Theseus had a son Hippolytus.

In later myths, Adonis had been related as a favorite of Aphrodite, and Aphrodite was responsible for the death of Hippolytus, who had been a favorite of Artemis.

Therefore, Artemis killed Adonis to avenge Hippolytus ’ s death.

There are two people named Barnabas among Hippolytus ' list of Seventy Disciples, one (# 13 ) became the bishop of Milan, the other (# 25 ) the bishop of Heraclea.

Most likely one of these two is the biblical Barnabas ; the first one is more likely, because the numbering by Hippolytus seems to indicate a level of significance.

Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Hippolytus were among the greatest early Christian apologists who engaged in critical analyses of unorthodox theology, Greco-Roman pagan religions, and Gnostic groups.

The Latin translation, confirmed by Hippolytus, makes Irenaeus state that according to Cerinthus ( who shows Ebionite influence ), creation was made by a power quite separate from the Supreme God and ignorant of Him.

Callixtus I is elected as the sixteenth pope, but is opposed by the theologian Hippolytus who accuses him of laxity and of being a Modalist, one who denies any distinction between the three persons of the Trinity.

In Hippolytus, speeches appear verbose and ungainly as if to underscore the limitations of language.

In the seventeenth century, Racine expressed admiration for Sophocles but was more influenced by Euripides ( e. g. Iphigenia at Aulis and Hippolytus were the models for his plays Iphigénie and Phèdre ).

Pontian and other church leaders ( among them Hippolytus ) were exiled by the emperor Maximinus Thrax to Sardinia, and in consequence of this sentence he resigned on 25 or 28 September 235.

** Hippolytus of Rome ( died 235 ), Christian writer and saint

The earliest surviving written references to the Gospel of Thomas are found in the writings of Hippolytus of Rome ( c. 222 – 235 ) and Origen of Alexandria ( c. 233 ).

The Ophites or Ophians ( Greek ophianoi ( ὄφιανοι ), from Greek ophis ( ὄφις ) " snake ") were members of a Christian Gnostic sect depicted by Hippolytus of Rome ( 170 – 235 ) in a lost work, the Syntagma.

* Hippolytus ( died 235 )

In the course of their studies, men such as Tatian of Antioch ( flourished in 180 ), Clement of Alexandria ( died before 215 ), Hippolytus of Rome ( died in 235 ), Julius Africanus of Jerusalem ( died after 240 ), Eusebius of Caesarea in Palestine ( 260-340 ), and Pseudo-Justin frequently quoted their predecessors, the Graeco-Jewish biblical chronographers of the Hellenistic period, thereby allowing discernment of more distant scholarship.

It has been suggested that it is largely dependent on a work of Bishop Hippolytus of Portus ( died 235 ), and is his lost Chronica.
