Papias was a Greek bishop and Apostolic Father. Though much of his writings have been lost, what does survive remains an integral part of understanding the early understanding of canonical Christian Scripture and exposition of Sacred Tradition. Little is known about his life, but what is preserved tells observers that he was a native of Hierapolis, where he served as bishop. Additionally, he was likely in power around the same time Ignatius was serving in Antioch. After he died, he was succeeded by Abercius. While much of his ideas have been lost to time, his methodology for exposition of doctrine from Scripture and Tradition continues to live on in Church discipline.
