Spain. 1 Maccabees 8:3; Romans 15:24; Romans 15:28. The local designation, Tarshish, representing the Tartessus of the Greeks, probably prevailed, until the fame of the Roman wars in that country reached the East, when it was superseded by its classical name. The mere intention of St. Paul to visit Spain, (whether he really did visit it is a disputed question. - Editor), implies two interesting facts, namely, the establishment of a Christian community in that country, and that this was done by Hellenistic Jews resident there. The early introduction of Christianity into that country is attested by Irenaeus and Tertullian.
