About the author

"Ignatius of Antioch (Ancient Greek: Ἰγνάτιος Ἀντιοχείας, Ignátios Antiokheías; ad c. 35 or 50 – 98 to 117), also known as Ignatius Theophorus (Ιγνάτιος ὁ Θεοφόρος, Ignátios ho Theophóros, lit. "the God-bearing"), was an Apostolic Father and the third bishop of Antioch. He was reputedly a student of John the Apostle. En route to Rome, where he met his martyrdom by being fed to wild beasts, he wrote a series of letters which have been preserved as an example of very early Christian theology. Important topics addressed in these letters include ecclesiology, the sacraments, and the role of bishops."

[Noah Jones · Rating 4 out of 5]

Picked this up somewhat randomly. Nice little set of—essays? sermons? addresses?—my biggest challenge was knowing what I was supposed to get from them. They weren’t highly argumentative or linear. But they are often beautiful and profound on the sentence level. Lots of wonderful quotes.

I’m obviously not the target audience—I didn’t know anything about the author before reading and still know very little. But I benefitted! I might revisit this at some point if I work on ethics in the Eastern Christian tradition.

An excellent Orthodox Christian book worth reading, indeed! It's short, concise, and spiritually edifying! It will be a book I would want to come back to in the future, as it's quite profound and pragmatic at the same time.
