Marcion of Sinope (; Ancient Greek: Μαρκίων[2][note 1]Σινώπης; c. 85 – c. 160[3]) was a theologian[4] in early Christianity.[4][5] Marcion preached that God had sent Jesus Christ, who was distinct from the "vengeful" God (Demiurge) who had created the world.[4][5] He considered himself a follower of Paul the Apostle, whom he believed to have been the only true apostle of Jesus Christ; his doctrine is called Marcionism.[4][5] Marcion published the earliest record of a canon of New Testament books.[4][8]
Early Church writers such as Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, and Tertullian denounced Marcion as a heretic or antichrist,
