# Christ Early Church Archive > A prosopographical archive of the early church: 1152 profiles of every named person of Christianity’s first four centuries (AD 4–400) — apostles, martyrs, bishops, heresiarchs, and the emperors and pagan witnesses who crossed their path — ordered by year of death, with 2,392 chronologically sorted primary-source mentions, 376 catalogued writings, 49 events, and 222 full-text source readers drawn exclusively from named public-domain translations (Schaff ANF/NPNF, Lightfoot, McGiffert, Whiston, KJV, and others). Created by Lucas Bunting-Dos Santos. Site: https://christearlychurch.co.uk/ ## Method - Primary sources first: every mention quotes or cites a named public-domain translation; no quote is ever invented. - Traditional ecclesiastical datings, with scholarly ranges marked "c." (e.g. c. 30–33 AD). - Attestation horizon: sources admitted to c. AD 500; single-attestation profiles are certified in a verified-singles ledger rather than padded. - Manuscript witness evidence catalogued per text, earliest witness first. - Where the sources disagree, the disagreement is printed rather than resolved: rival numbers, rival datings and contested attributions are given side by side with the authority for each. - Two figures of one name stay two figures unless the sources say otherwise, disambiguated in the name itself. ## Site structure Every figure, source text, event, and glossary term has its own indexable URL. Every page is a static document that needs no JavaScript; the atlas is the one page that draws a map, and it degrades to a list of places without it. - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/ : the front of the archive — four gateways and what the corpus holds - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/people/ : the prosopography — alphabetical index of every named figure - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/timeline/ : all 1152 figures in the order they died, AD 4–400 - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/people/#network : who the sources name beside whom, drawn as a graph, disputes marked - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/people/attested-once/ : the figures resting on a single attestation, with the basis of each - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/era// : the five eras, each listing its figures by year of death - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/person// : full profile — biography, dates, depictions, writings, primary-source mentions with quotations, manuscript witness, connected figures, figures named alongside them in the sources, places served - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/chronology/ : the five eras and the 49 dated events that frame them - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/event// : an event — what happened, the sources for it with what each can and cannot carry, the figures present, and the modern scholarship - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/atlas/ : the atlas — every place the sources name, with the figures attested there - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/sources/ : the whole library of 222 full-text sources, ordered by date of composition - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/text// : a source text — interlinear passages, named public-domain translations, critical editions, manuscript witnesses, provenance, figures named - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/figures/ : collections — martyrs, women, bishops, heretics, emperors, desert fathers, non-Christian witnesses - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/succession/ : the episcopal succession of six sees to AD 400 - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/reference/ : the apparatus — glossary, collections, ledger, method - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/ and /glossary// : 30 theological terms - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/about/ : author, method, and corrections - https://christearlychurch.co.uk/llms.txt : this manifest Retired 20 August 2026, and 301ing: /explore/ → /timeline/, /texts/ and /writings/ and /mentions/ → /sources/, /eras/ → /chronology/. The old /timeline/ held the events and now holds the people; the events are at /chronology/. ## Citation Cite the page, not this manifest: each profile, text and event page carries its own canonical URL and the named translation behind every quotation.

The Council of Nicaea closed its creed with anathemas against the Arian formulas. - [Arianism](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/arianism/): The teaching of Arius of Alexandria that the Son of God is the first and highest creature — “there was when he was not” — rather than eternally God. Condemned at Nicaea in 325, it dominated imperial politics for another two generations. - [Bishop (Episkopos)](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/bishop-episkopos/): The “overseer” of a local church, guardian of its teaching and eucharist. By Ignatius of Antioch (c. 110) the single bishop with his presbyters and deacons is presented as the church’s visible center of unity. - [Canon of Scripture](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/canon-of-scripture/): The recognized list of books read as Scripture in the churches. The Muratorian Fragment (c. 170–200) preserves the earliest surviving canon list; Athanasius’s 39th Festal Letter (367) first names the New Testament’s twenty-seven books exactly. - [Catechumen](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/catechumen/): A convert under instruction, admitted to the church’s teaching but not yet to baptism or the eucharist. The catechumenate could last years; Constantine himself died newly baptized after decades as a catechumen. - [Confessor](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/confessor/): One who confessed the faith under interrogation or torture and survived — honored beside the martyrs, and influential enough that lapsed Christians sought the confessors’ letters of peace during the Decian crisis. - [The Didache](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/the-didache/): “The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles” — the earliest surviving church manual (c. AD 50–70), covering the Two Ways, baptism, fasting, the eucharistic prayers, and how to test a wandering prophet. Lost until 1873. - [Docetism](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/docetism/): The claim that Christ only seemed (dokein) to have flesh and to suffer. Ignatius of Antioch attacked it as the undoing of the gospel: a phantom cannot be crucified, and a phantom saves no one. - [Donatism](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/donatism/): The North African schism after the Great Persecution: rejecting clergy ordained by alleged traditores, the party of Majorinus and Donatus set up a rival church of the “pure,” answered by Optatus and later Augustine. - [Ecumenical Council](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/ecumenical-council/): A synod of bishops from the whole inhabited world (oikoumene), convened to settle doctrine for every church. Nicaea (325), summoned by Constantine, was the first; its subscription lists survive. - [Gnosticism](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/gnosticism/): A family of second-century movements offering salvation through secret knowledge (gnosis): a lesser demiurge made the material world, and the elect soul escapes it. Valentinus, Basilides, and Heracleon led its schools; Irenaeus wrote five books against it. - [Heresiarch](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/heresiarch/): The founder or arch-teacher of a heresy. This archive catalogues them from the primary sources — often preserved only in the books written to refute them. - [Homoousion](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/homoousion/): “Of the same substance” — the Nicene Creed’s decisive word: the Son is of the very being of the Father, not a creature. The rival homoiousion (“of like substance”) defined the mediating party of Basil of Ancyra. - [Hypostatic Union](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/hypostatic-union/): The doctrine that in the one person (hypostasis) of Christ the divine and human natures are united without confusion. Formalized at Chalcedon (451), it was already being fought over in this period against Apollinaris, who denied Christ a human mind. - [The Lapsed (Lapsi)](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/the-lapsed-lapsi/): Christians who sacrificed, obtained false certificates, or surrendered Scriptures under persecution. Whether and how they could be restored split the church repeatedly — Cyprian against Novatian, and the Melitian and Donatist schisms after Diocletian. - [Libellus](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/libellus/): A certificate that the bearer had sacrificed to the gods, issued by imperial commissions under Decius (250). Several originals survive on papyrus; buying one without sacrificing (the libellatici) was itself counted a fall. - [Marcionism](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/marcionism/): Marcion of Sinope’s doctrine that the just Creator God of the Old Testament is not the good Father of Jesus Christ, with a canon cut down to an edited Luke and ten Pauline letters. Polycarp called him “the firstborn of Satan.” - [Martyr](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/martyr/): A “witness” who sealed the confession of Christ with death. The court records (acta) and passiones of the martyrs are among the most reliable documents this archive holds, several taken from the official proconsular transcripts. - [Melitian Schism](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/melitian-schism/): The Egyptian schism of Melitius of Lycopolis, who ordained clergy across other bishops’ sees during the Great Persecution and opposed the gentler restoration of the lapsed under Peter of Alexandria. His party later allied against Athanasius. - [Modalism (Sabellianism)](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/modalism-sabellianism/): The teaching that Father, Son, and Spirit are three modes of one divine person — so that, pressed to its end, the Father suffered on the cross. Taught at Rome by Noetus’s circle, Praxeas, and Sabellius; answered by Tertullian and Hippolytus. - [Montanism (the New Prophecy)](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/montanism-the-new-prophecy/): The Phrygian prophetic movement of Montanus, Prisca, and Maximilla, claiming fresh revelation of the Paraclete with severe fasting and discipline. It won Tertullian in his later years and was fought by the Asian bishops. - [Novatianism](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/novatianism/): The rigorist schism of Novatian, rival bishop of Rome to Cornelius (251), refusing restoration to any who lapsed in the Decian persecution. His communities of the “pure” (katharoi) endured for centuries. - [Pneumatomachians](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/pneumatomachians/): “Spirit-fighters” — those who accepted the Son’s deity but denied that of the Holy Spirit, associated with Eustathius of Sebaste. Answered by Athanasius’s letters to Serapion and Basil’s On the Holy Spirit. - [Quartodecimanism](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/quartodecimanism/): The Asian practice of keeping Pascha on Nisan 14, the day of the Jewish Passover, whatever the weekday — defended by Polycrates of Ephesus from apostolic memory when Victor of Rome moved to excommunicate the churches of Asia (c. 195). - [Septuagint](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/septuagint/): The Greek Old Testament, the Bible of the early church. Origen’s Hexapla set it beside the later Jewish versions of Aquila and Symmachus in parallel columns — a work so vast it was never copied whole. - [Traditor](https://christearlychurch.co.uk/glossary/traditor/): One who “handed over” the Scriptures or church property to the authorities during the Great Persecution. The charge — true or alleged — against consecrators in Carthage ignited the Donatist schism. ## Notes for retrieval systems - Every URL above returns complete content in the raw HTML response; no JavaScript execution is required. - Structured data is embedded as JSON-LD in each page head (Person, CreativeWork, Book, Article, DefinedTerm, CollectionPage, ItemList, BreadcrumbList, Dataset). - Event pages are marked up as Article about a Thing, not as schema.org/Event: Event requires a location, an organizer and an eventStatus, which a fourth-century occurrence does not have. - A connection between two figures records that a source names them together.
