Person
Marcion of Sinope
active in Rome about the 140s
Teacher expelled from the Roman church
Attested. The Roman expulsion and the shape of his collection are known from opponents, especially Tertullian, whose quotations are extensive but hostile.
Marcion taught that the just creator revealed in the Hebrew scriptures is not the Father of Jesus. He circulated a gospel resembling a shorter Luke and ten Pauline letters, without the Pastorals. The Roman church expelled him. His communities spread widely and lasted for centuries. He forced other Christians to say which books they read and why.
