His major writing, The Letter to the Philippians, is intimately
connected with the epistles and martyrdom of Ignatius. About 110 CE,
while en route to
By his letter, and by his widespread moral authority, Polycarp combated
the Marcionites (from
Despite the proximity in time between Ignatius and Polycarp, as well as the obvious affinity of their spirits in Christian fortitude, one recognizes in Polycarp a temperament much less oriented to ecclesiastical polity and possessing a much wider acquaintance with the New Testament. Proportionate to the length of what they wrote, Polycarp has two or three times more quotations and reminiscences from the New Testament that does Ignatius. Of 112 Biblical reminiscences, about 100 are from the New Testament with only a dozen from the Old Testament. Polycarp does not refer to older Christian writings by name, but The Letter to the Philippians has quotations (of approval) from these writings:
- Gospel according to Matthew
- Gospel according to Mark
- Gospel according to Luke
- Acts
- I Corinthians
- II Corinthians
- Galatians
- Ephesians
- Philippians
- I Thessalonians
- II Thessalonians
- I Timothy
- II Timothy
- Hebrews
- I Peter
- I John
- III John
In fact, The Letter to the Philippians is a mosaic of quotations from both Old Testament and Christian writings. The letter is important for its early testimony to the existence of various other New Testament texts. English translations of the letter are in the books [LHH] and [Richardson] , and online at Noncanonical Homepage and Christian Classics Ethereal Library. The quotations below follow [Richardson]. For a summary of this evidence see the Cross Reference Table.
