Ignatius of Antioch: A Martyr Bishop and the origin of Episcopacy
Autor Allen Brenten Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2009
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
Christendom.
Allen Brent defends the authenticity of the Ignatian letters by showing how the circumstances of Ignatius' condemnation at Antioch and departure for Rome fits well with what we can reconstruct of the internal situation in the Church of Antioch in Syria at the end of the first century. Ignatius is presented as a controversial figure arising in the context of a church at war with itself. Ignatius constructs out of the conflicting models of church order available to him one founded on a single bishop that he commends to Christian communities through which he passes in chains as a condemned martyr prisoner.

Descriere
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 Christendom.
Allen Brent defends the authenticity of the Ignatian letters by showing how the circumstances of Ignatius' condemnation at Antioch and departure for Rome fits well with what we can reconstruct of the internal situation in the Church of Antioch in Syria at the end of the first century. Ignatius is presented as a controversial figure arising in the context of a church at war with itself. Ignatius constructs out of the conflicting models of church order available to him one founded on a single bishop that he commends to Christian communities through which he passes in chains as a condemned martyr prisoner.
