- Marcion of Sinope ( ) was a theologian[1] in early Christianity.[1][2] Marcion preached that God had sent Jesus Christ, who was distinct from the "vengeful" God (Demiurge) who had created the world.[1][2]He considered himself a follower of Paul the Apostle, whom he believed to have been the only true apostle of Jesus Christ; his doctrine is called Marcionism.[1][2]Marcion published the earliest record of a canon of New Testament books.[1] Early Church Fathers such as Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, and Tertullian denounced Marcion as a heretic or antichrist,[3] and he was excommunicated by the church of Rome around 144.He published his own canon of Christian sacred scriptures,[1][4] which contained ten Pauline epistles (the Pastoral epistles were not included) and the Gospel of Marcion which historically is claimed to be an edited version of the Gospel of Luke.[1]Some modern scholars have theorized that Marcion's Gospel was the oldest, although this has been contested.
This made Marcionism a catalyst in the process of the development of the New Testament canon by forcing the proto-orthodox Church to respond to his canon.[1]
