Saint Ignatius Of Antioch
(4,671 Sterne; 123 Bewertungen)
Ignatius of Antioch penned these letters to churches (Ephesians, Magnesians, Trallians, Romans, Philadelphians, and Smyrnaeans) and Polycarp on his way to martyrdom. Ignatius was an apologist for the Episcopal style of church government (as opposed to sole rule by a council of presbyters) which developed in the late first or early second century. Eager to die in imitation of his Savior, it was Ignatius who wrote this to the Roman church: "I am God's wheat, and I am ground by the teeth of wild beasts that I may be found pure bread [of Christ]."

Early Church Snapshot

(5 Sterne)
What a beautiful snap shot of the early church in its unity, structure of authority, and humility.

Right away in the first epistle we meet Onesimus as Bishop of Ephesus. The very Onesimus who was slave of Philemon. As the letters go on, repeated themes of joy in suffering and death, submission to the bishops, constant meeting together in the household of faith, and stringent clinging to sound doctrine echo over and over. The letters give a briefly, beautiful view into the issues and questions and trials facing the early church.
Middle rescension
John Glemby
(4 Sterne)
This is a nice reading of what is actually the middle rescension,not the short.the short is 3 letters and shorter as well.These 7 letters were considered likely authentic compared to the long rescension of 17 letters and longest lengths..Please look into this yourself if you feel the need. Check out William Cureton who published earlier transcripts of 3 letters..There is a difference in tone regarding God and Christ...its slight but clearly noticeable..God bless ...
Excellent.
