It is unclear as to which Macarius is teaching in Edessa. Wikipedia apparently doesn't have that person currently listed in its database. Stevenmitchell 02:17, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

"The contradictory reports are easily reconciled by the assumption that Lucian was a critical scholar with some peculiar views on the Trinity and Christology which were not in harmony with the later Nicene orthodoxy, but that he wiped out all stains by his heroic confession and martyrdom," wrote Philip Schaff in his History of the Christian Church.

I've read that particular statement in Schaff some time ago, but I wasn't particularly impressed by it, because the Fathers didn't have 'nice' words to say about heretical martyrs. For instance, they said that a martyr's death for a heretic is a well deserved punishmnent for his blasphemies; or -at other times- they warned against the veneration of martyred Montanist Saints. -- Craciun Lucian.
