felt for Jesus. So will you. One very small caveat: Green argues that the subapostolic church misrepresented the gospel, although not, perhaps, as greatly as Harnack and others have suggested. "Ignatius claims that the coming of Jesus has put an end to magic, one must sorrowfully confess that in some areas of the church it introduced a new sort of majic' (p 166) such as Ignatius saying, "The Eucharist is the 'medicine of immortality..." (p 166). What, I wonder is any different from the claims about the Eucharist in the 2nd century than in the 1st? What about Paul 1 Cor. 11:23-29 saying that that you must receive the Eucharist worthily or you may earn death. Also 1 Cor. 10:16, the Didache, John 6:35-71. Also from 110 AD Ignatius:The heretics abstain from the Eucharist...because they do not confess that the Eucharist the flesh of our savior Jesus Christ" Letter to Smyraeans. Still, this is one small difference I had in an otherwise wonderful book.
