The Opponents of Polycarp, Philippians, and 1 John
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The 1905 Oxford Society of Historical Theology classified the possible use of 1 John in Polycarp’s Philippians with a ‘C’ rating, meaning that they thought there was a ‘lower degree of probability’ that Polycarp’s letter to the Philippians used 1 John.1 Some scholars have expressed similar uncertainty.2 For example, S. E. Johnson labelled the possibility of dependence as ‘doubtful’,3 and H. F. von Campenhausen dismissed the parallels between 1 John and Polycarp’s letter as a typical ‘kirchliche Parole im Kampf gegen die kleinasiatische Gnosis’.4 However, many other scholars have disagreed with the Oxford Society’s assessment.5
