The 1851 discovery of the "Philosophumena", a significant portion of his most important work, ''A Refutation of All Heresies'', has made it possible to clear up the most important period of the life of St. Hippolytus through his own evidence, and at the same time to test and correct the conflicting accounts contained in the old authorities. Historians proceed on the assumption that Hippolytus was really the author of the "Philosophumena", an hypothesis almost universally accepted by investigators today. He also wrote commentaries on Daniel and the Song of Songs, and [[Apostolic Tradition|''The Apostolic Traditions'']]. In the "Refutation of All Heresies" Hippolytus set out to refute the doctrines of the Gnostics and condemn heretics by showing that their views were taken from pagan philosophy and oriental theosophy.

From the details of his work, ''Philosophoumena'', Hippolytus apparently was a presbyter (elder) in the church of Rome during the time St. Victor was the bishop of Rome (189-199), and at the beginning of the third century an influential leader of the Roman church while his friends Zephyrinus (Zephrinus) and Callistus served as the chief bishops.
