Description
The Epistles of St. Ignatius of Antioch This collection of letters presents the writings of St. Ignatius of Antioch, a prominent early Christian figure, in their entirety. Authored during his tenure as Bishop of Antioch, these epistles offer valuable insights into the spread of Christianity and the development of the Catholic Church. The letters included in this edition are generally considered authentic, having been individually referenced by the Roman historian Eusebius in the 4th century AD. However, some epistles are disputed among historians and theologians, with the scholarly consensus being that they were attributed to St. Ignatius long after his death. This edition provides a comprehensive collection of both authentic and disputed letters, offering a nuanced understanding of St. Ignatius' teachings and legacy. Published in 2018, this edition features an excellent translation by two theological scholars, making the contents accessible to readers interested in early Christian history and theology.
