Maximus of Jerusalem was a fourth-century presbyter and the third bishop of Jerusalem to bear his name. Serving as bishop from approximately 333 AD until his death in 347 or 350 AD, he was highly regarded for his character. Because he endured torture for his faith during a period of persecution, he is recognized as a confessor. His leadership was marked by significant ecclesiastical activity, including participation in important regional synods and efforts to manage the status of his see.
