Abstract

It is indispensable to understand Marcion and his thought for understanding the Second-century Christianity. The Christian churches in the 2nd century turned their struggles with Marcion into an opportunity to be aware of new theological problems and to systematize their faith and theology. In addition the criticism and assessment of Marcion by the early church fathers and theologians help modern readers to estimate the situations of the time. This writing first of all tries to figure out and clarify the factual things around Marcion’s life through scholarly opinions. Then it focuses on investigating some of his main thoughts and on examining from the Christian perspective how 2nd-century Christians reacted to them and what his theological problems and influences were.
