Question

who wrote the oldest surviving christian hymn
Tertullian
Cyprian
Clement
Origen

Answer 1

The oldest surviving Christian hymn is attributed to Tertullian, although there is not a single hymn that can be definitively identified as the oldest. Tertullian, a prolific early Christian author from Carthage, wrote in the late 2nd and early 3rd centuries and is often associated with early Christian music and hymnody. Nonetheless, other figures like Clement of Alexandria also contributed to the development of early Christian hymns.
