About
Ignatius of Antioch, a prominent early Christian bishop and martyr, lived in the late 1st and early 2nd century AD. He is known for his seven authentic letters written during his journey to Rome for execution.
His works provide valuable insights into early church structure, theology, and the challenges of heresy. These letters emphasize church unity, the authority of bishops, and the reality of Christ's humanity and divinity.
However, caution is needed as several spurious works were later attributed to him, including expanded versions of his genuine letters and entirely fabricated texts.
