The Royal Library of Alexandria in Alexandria, Egypt was once the largest in the world. It is generally assumed to have been founded at the beginning of the 3rd century BC, during the reign of Ptolemy II of Egypt, after Ptolemy's father had raised what would become the first part of the library complex, the temple of the Muses—the Musaeum (whence we get museum).

Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus, anglicized as Tertullian, (ca. 155–230) was a church leader and prolific author during the early years of Christianity.

The Roman Catholic Church was founded on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, also known as Jesus Christ. Jesus, himself, was a carpenter from the region of Galilee and practiced as a member of the Jewish faith. Roman Catholicism, therefore, considers itself to be a successor religion to Judaism with the Christian God and the God of the Jews seen as one and the same. The development of the religion which would eventually become Christianity began for Jesus at a young age. Church tradition holds that, sometime in his early teens, Jesus ...

Gnosticism - Heresiologists and gnostic detractors. Prior to the discovery of the Nag Hammadi library in 1945 (arguably until its translation and eventual publication in 1977), gnosticism was known primarily only through the works of heresiologists, Church Fathers who worked to chronicle those movements perceived to be deviating from the developing orthodox church, and to refute their teachings as they did so, with the ultimate aim of demonstrating their moral inferiority. The problems with such sources are immed ...

The evidence for the place and date of this work are in the language and theology of the work. The reference to Pope Clement I suggests a date between 88 and 97 for at least the first two visions. Since Paul sent greetings to a Hermas, a Christian of Rome (Romans 16:14), a hopeful minority have followed Origen's opinion that he was the author of this religious romance; however, textual criticism and the nature of the theology, and the author's apparent familiarity with Revelation and other Johannine t ...
