Senecas of Jerusalem
Senecas of Jerusalem was a 2nd century Jewish Christian bishop of Jerusalem.[1]
According to Eusebius of Caesarea, there were thirteen bishops of Jerusalem, between the fall of the Jewish temple and the Bar Kokhba revolt, all were Jewish Christians.[2] and he was 10th on that list. He is also mentioned in the Epistle of James to Quadratus.[3]
Some scholars[4] have suggested that he was not a bishop but rather a presbyter assisting James the first Bishop,[5] though this is controversial.
