Description: "The letters of Ignatius of Antioch, written ca. 110 C.E., are a primary witness to the beginnings of post-New Testament Christianity's movement to define its message, organization, and practice. This book focuses on a specific facet of Christian life in Ignatius' world: the articulation of the central Christian message, the gospel.

Thus, this study examines Ignatius' gospel with respect to its content and form, its place among the gospels of earliest Christianity, as well as its use by Ignatius to delineate what is for him acceptable belief and practice within the church."--BOOK JACKET.
