1 ene 156 año - Justin Martyr

Descripción:

Justin Martyr may have run a school with its own internal proof-texts and catechisms. Writing ca. 156 CE, he seems to indicate that some version of the synoptic gospels was read in the church(es) in Rome each Sunday (while his familiarity with the gospel of John remains uncertain), but he clearly implies that the authorship was unknown or contested at his time, and he appears to think that one of the synoptic gospels was actually written by Peter. Justin is also the first writer on record to use the term “New Testament” (though by it he appears to mean Jesus himself). He is later followed by Irenaeus, Hippolytus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian. The phrase is never used in relation to a specific, closed body of texts.

Justin attests to the prior activity of Simon of Samaria and his Samaritan disciple Meander. Marcion is described as living and active. Other previous heretical leaders are named: Valentinus, Basilides, and Saturnilus. Gnostics and docetics consider themselves Christians, and outsiders think of them that way as well.

Justin mentions internal disagreement within the Christian movement on several fronts:
> The salvation of Christians who continue to maintain observance of Mosaic law
> Whether or not Jesus pre-existed, or if he was merely born a man and elected Son of God.
> Whether or not there will be a gathering of resurrected Christians in Jerusalem, and the larger question of whether or not there will be an end-times resurrection of the dead (as opposed to a seemingly heretical notion that the faithful will be immediately present in heaven upon their deaths).
> Whether or not food sacrificed to idols should be eaten (per Justin, no)
