Saint Dionysius the Great of Alexandria
c. 190 – 265 · Ante-Nicene theologians · Alexandrian
Disciple of Origen; Bishop of Alexandria (247–264) through the persecutions of Decius and Valerian. His extant letters preserved by Eusebius and others are a primary source for the Eucharistic, baptismal, and conciliar life of the mid-3rd-century Church. His controversy with Dionysius of Rome over Trinitarian language anticipates the distinctions of Nicaea.
