The Fragments of Papias | Book Reviews 2022 (#12)

What this episode covers

Papias was the bishop of Hierapolis in Phrygia, which is modern day Turkey. Papias had heard the teachings of the Apostle John and was a companion of Polycarp. This information is given to us by Polycarp’s disciple, Irenaeus. Eusebius also records some of his work, too. Papias is writing in the late first and early second century. His surviving work is sparse, but Pr. Jack talks about some things worth noting.
