In her article "Pseudo-Justin's De Resurrectione: Athenagoras or Hippolytus?" published in "Vigiliae Christianae" by Brill publishing, she argues that Pseudo-Justin's "de resurrectione" was not composed by Athenagoras, but was more likely by Hippolytus.{{cite web|url=http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/brill/vc/2006/00000060/00000004/art00003|title=Pseudo-Justin's De Resurrectione: Athenagoras or Hippolytus?|author=A.
