Opis

Among the most important chronological questions of Christianity in the second century is the date of St. Polycarp's martyrdom. Turner scours the evidence to determine a precise date, based on comparison between the Roman and Asiatic calendars and other historical references. This dating in turn helps to date Irenaeus and St. John.
