Marcion of Sinope was a theologian in early Christianity. Marcion preached that God had sent Jesus Christ, who was distinct from the "vengeful" God (Demiurge) who had created the world. He considered himself a follower of Paul the Apostle, whom he believed to have been the only true apostle of Jesus Christ; his doctrine is called Marcionism. Marcion published the earliest record of a canon of New Testament books. 85 – 160; died at about 74. Alive at the same time as Marcus Aurelius, Plutarch, Ptolemy, Apuleius, and Nagarjuna. Wiki link
