    Episode 57: Antioch, bishops and monks before St John Chrysostom

    The fact that the bishops were successors to the apostles explains why the episcopate did not develop to its fullest inJerusalem. Although St James the Apostle was what we would consider bishop of Jerusalem, St Peter was possibly still alive in the year 66 when the Jewish rebellion broke out. Certainly, St John was still alive, and it is possible that other apostles also lived. Antioch, which had lost its apostles before Rome, was thus the earliest centre for the development of the episcopate known to us. Monasticism owed much to the teachings of Christ and the example of the first Christians in Jerusalem. It appeared not only in Syria but also in Egypt. They were different establishments, but they eventually influenced one another.

    Episode 56: St Theophilus of Antioch

    We examine the deep work of St Theophilus of Antioch, its bishop from about 169 until perhaps 188. He was the first known to have used the term "Trinity". He defended the faith in the only surviving work, a rich volume in three books which shows the profundity of the faith, and the development of its theosophy, theology, and understanding of scripture, and the inspiration of what we now know as the New Testament.
