| Summary |
Ignatius of Antioch (died c. 115)€is one of the€Apostolic Fathers of the Christian€Church.€In his letters€to other churches he re-interpreted church order, the Eucharist and martyrdom against the backcloth of the Second Sophistic in Asia minor by using the cultural material of a pagan society. He so€formed€€the idea and theology of the office of a bishop in the€Christian church.€€This book is an€account of€the circumstances and the cultural€context in which Ignatius constructed what became the historic church order of Christ |
