'' Marcion of Sinope (; Greek: Μαρκίων〔''First Apology of Justin Martyr'', (XXVI.5 )〕 Σινώπης; c. 85 – c. 160) was an important leader in early Christianity. His theology rejected the deity described in the Hebrew Scriptures and in distinction affirmed the Father of Christ as the true God. The Church Fathers denounced Marcion, and he chose to separate himself from the proto-orthodox church. He is often considered a catalyst〔''How Then Will We Worship?''. Sproul, R.C. p. 16; ISBN 978-1-4347-0424-5〕 in the development of the New Testament canon. ==Life== Epiphanius records in the Panarion that Marcion was the son of a bishop, in Pontus. His near-contemporaries Rhodo described him as a "mariner" and Tertullian described him as a "ship-master." He is said to have made a donation of 200,000 sesterces to the church in Rome. Conflicts with the church of Rome arose and he was eventually excommunicated, his donation being returned to him . After his excommunication, he returned to Asia Minor where he continued to lead his many church congregations and teach the Christian gospel in its Marcionite version. According to anti-Marcionite sources, Marcion's teacher was the Simonian Cerdo. Irenaeus writes that "a certain Cerdo, originating from the Simonians, came to Rome under Hyginus ... and taught that the one who was proclaimed as God by the Law and the Prophets is not the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" (''Against Heresies'', 1, 27, 1). In 394, Epiphanius claimed that after beginnings as an ascetic, Marcion seduced a virgin and was accordingly excommunicated by his father, prompting him to leave his home town.〔''Refutation of All Heresies'', XLII, ii.〕 This account has been doubted by many scholars, who consider it "malicious gossip". More recently, Bart D. Ehrman suggests that this "seduction of a virgin" was a metaphor for his corruption of the Christian Church, with the Church portrayed as the undefiled virgin.〔Bart D. Ehrman, ''Lost Christianities''〕 Similarly doubtful is Tertullian's claim in ''The Prescription Against Heretics'' (written ca. 200) that Marcion professed repentance, and agreed to the conditions granted to him—that he should receive reconciliation if he restored to the church those whom he had led astray—but that he was prevented from doing so by his death.〔(''The Prescription Against Heretics'' ) 30:3.
