Marcion

[ mahr-shuhn, -shee-uhn, -see-uhn ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

Going back still another hundred years we come to the times of the notorious apostate, Marcion.

Such an identification doubtless led Marcion to alter the title in his copies.

He regarded it as his special task to combat the views of Marcion, of Bardaiṣan and of Mani.

This far the doctrine of Marcion is in strict agreement with the New Testament, though denounced as blasphemy by his opponent.

Thirdly, Marcion had already taken the lead in forming Christian writings into a canon in the strict sense of the word.
