>>18397155>More recently, the attribution of the Apostolic Tradition to Hippolytus of Rome has come under substantial criticism.[17] According to several scholars, the Apostolic Tradition is a work written by another priest named Hippolytus, but who probably lived in Alexandria,[18] or it contains material of separate sources ranging from the middle second to the fourth century.[5] The reasons given to support this understanding are the following:>the name “Hippolytus” is found in transmission of the Church Orders only about one century and half after his death;[17]K so not even used or read or probably even really him. Thanks kinda confirmed what I already suspected. Nothing he wrote was probably significant or even relavent to the early church.
>Recent scholarship, such as that by Bradshaw[2] and Johnson,[5] has called into question the degree to which the liturgical texts witnessed in the Apostolic Tradition may be taken as representing the regular forms of worship in Rome in the 3rd century. They propose that, over the centuries, later and non-Roman liturgical forms have accumulated within an older, and substantially Roman, Church Order.k thanks.
