Mauricio Saavedra Monroy: LA TRADICIÓN JUÁNICA EN EL ASIA MENOR Y EL MARTIRIO DE POLICARPO

In this short communication, we propose to analyze the presence and reception of the Johannine Tradition in Asia Minor, particularly by the author of the Martyrdom of Polycarp. The allusions to the Gospel of John framed in a theology and liturgical praxis, such as the celebration of the Quartodecimanist Easter, may provide the oldest testimony of the celebration of the Easter vigil in Smyrna in the second century.
