“ "Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof." By these words it is signified that the preaching of the Gospel will be spread abroad over the seas and the islands in the ocean, and among the people dwelling therein, who are here called "the fulness thereof." And that word has been made good. For churches of Christ fill all the islands, and are being multiplied every day, and the teaching of the Word of salvation is gaining accessions.”
-- Hippolytus of Rome (170–235 AD) was the most important 3rd-century theologian in the Christian Church in Rome. This is from the “Extant Works and Fragments” commenting on the words in Psalm 96.11 "Let the Sea Roar (Be Moved), and the Fulness Thereof."
