Apollos, an early Christian missionary from Alexandria mentioned in the New Testament, known for his eloquence and knowledge of Scripture.
A Greek name (Ἀπολλώς), likely derived from Apollo. Apollos appears in Acts and Paul's letters as a prominent figure in the early church, possibly a shortened form of Apollonius.
Apollos is one of Christianity's earliest celebrities—Paul mentions him enough that scholars debate whether Apollos or Paul's followers had the 'better' theology, creating perhaps the first theological fan wars!
