<i>Hippolytus of Rome was not a Roman, but a father of the Church of Greek origin that sojourned there long enough to associate his name to the western capital of Christendom.</i><br /><i>He lived between 170 and 236 AD. This gives special authority and meaning to his writings along with the fact that he was a disciple of Irenaeus of Lyon, who in turn was a disciple of Polycarp. The latter, as it is well known to the students of early Christian writers, knew the apostle John in person.</i><br /><i>The three works I present here are particularly significant to me. They were of great help and personal edification during my studies on Bible prophecies and on the Deity of Christ.</i><br /><i>I am sure they will be a blessing to those who will read them too.</i><br /><i>Giuseppe Guarino</i>
