St. Ignatius of Antioch: The Epistles - St Ignatius Of Antioch

Descriere St. Ignatius of Antioch: The Epistles - St Ignatius Of Antioch

The epistles of St. Ignatius are presented here in their entirety, with historic insights imparted in an excellent translation to English by two theological scholars. Saint Ignatius of Antioch was a foremost early Christian, acceding to the role of Bishop of Antioch in circa 67 A.D. . During his tenure as bishop he authored several Epistles - or letters - to various figures of the time. Travelling widely, St. Ignatius placed much effort in spreading the influence of Christianity. His writings are notable for coining the term 'Catholic Church', which remains in use to this day. This edition includes letters which are generally considered authentic, being as they were individually referenced by the Roman historian Eusebius during the 4th century A.D. For the sake of completeness, this edition also contains several epistles whose authenticity is disputed among historians and theologians. The scholarly consensus is that these letters are spurious and were attributed to St. Ignatius long after his death.
