Oct 12, Coyle rated it really liked it. This book is a beast. But not the one with a mark While these authors are by and large more accessible than those of previous volumes which I assume is caused by a combination of translation and manuscript availability , the content gets a bit repetitive. And of course as with any of these volumes the theology and exegesis aren't always as great as they could be.
Still, there is gold to be mined here as we watch these faithful Christian This book is a beast. Still, there is gold to be mined here as we watch these faithful Christians try to obey Scripture and stay faithful to the Gospel. Though we don't always agree with their interpretations or actions, we can always benefit from their wisdom and example. Once again I'm faced with the dilemma of how to properly review this book.
If I had to rate this book on its ease of comprehension, the rating would be rather low. That's just something that comes with the territory of semi-ancient translated works such as these. If I were to give this book a proper review, I would have needed to actually take my time while I read instead of basically skim the text.

Wisdom and discernment of a father, earnest affection and zealous encouragement of a brother. Those will definitely be read several more times over the coming decades.

Differences in style and theology lead some scholars to conclude that some of the works attributed to Hippolytus actually derive from a second author. As most scholars consider them to not have been written by him, they are often ascribed to " Pseudo-Hippolytus ". The two are included in an appendix to the works of Hippolytus in the voluminous collection of Early Church Fathers.
Hippolytus is an important figure in the development of Christian eschatology. With the onset of persecutions during the reign of Septimus Severus, many early Christian writers turned to eschatology.
On Christ and the Antichrist is one of his earliest works. Hippolytus was greatly influenced by Irenaeus. Of the dogmatic works, On Christ and the Antichrist survives in a complete state and was probably written about Hippolytus follows the long-established usage in interpreting Daniel's seventy prophetic weeks to be weeks of literal years. Hippolytus gave an explanation of Daniel's paralleling prophecies of chapters 2 and 7, which he, as with the other fathers, specifically relates to the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans.

His interpretation of events and their significance is Christological. This would be ended by Christ's Second Advent, the resurrection of the righteous, and the destruction of said Antichrist. After which would come the judgment and burning up of the wicked. Hippolytus did not subscribe to the belief that the Second Coming was imminent. He assumed, like Irenaeus his teacher, that inasmuch as God made all things in six days, and these days symbolize a thousand years each, in six thousand years from the creation the end will come.
He apparently based his calculation on the Septuagint which had the world beginning about BC. Because on the Apodosis the hymns of the Transfiguration are to be repeated, the feast of St. Hippolytus may be transferred to the day before or to some other convenient day. The feast of Saint Hippolytus formerly celebrated on 22 August as one of the companions of Saint Timotheus was a duplicate of his 13 August feast and for that reason was deleted when the General Roman Calendar was revised in The Catholic Encyclopedia sees this as "connected with the confusion regarding the Roman presbyter resulting from the Acts of the Martyrs of Porto.
It has not been ascertained whether the memory of the latter was localized at Porto merely in connection with the legend in Prudentius, without further foundation, or whether a person named Hippolytus was really martyred at Porto, and afterwards confounded in legend with Hippolytus of Rome. Earlier editions of the Roman Martyrology also mentioned on 30 January a Hippolytus venerated at Antioch , but the details it gave were borrowed from the story of Hippolytus of Rome.
