Resumen del Editor

Ignatius was a man discipled by the Apostle John, who was deeply rich in humility and wisdom. His letters live on, long after his death, and today we have the opportunity of hearing them! Friends, let us study the holy Scriptures, for this is the very thing greater than all earthly bread, but let us also not neglect the study of the very men that walked and lived in the days of the Apostles, for their wisdom and words are valuable to our development unto holiness and godly virtue. I pray that you are blessed as you listen this wonderful book.

a great man with a few heresies

the translation and the performance was really good I started listening to this on the road to get a little bit more of an IDF Catholic origins and I found that the talk things that are heresies to the Catholics and things that I think are heresies for example he taught that the people should choose they're bishops and that goes against apostolic succession which is the only court for the Catholic Church authority that can damn you to hell or forgive your sins or sell you indulgences but he also taught that you should do nothing without the direction of the bishop but that is in context of Christians in that era being fed to wild animals so you have to see this in nearly a military style environment because if you take actions on your own you might get another Christian's kill so in that sort of a situation kind of want to follow the chain of command and he also taught that like the scripture does wife should submit to their husbands as to Christ so the congregation should submit to the bishop as much of Christ and then again he mentioned that there are many congregations who don't have a bishop
there are many more interesting doctrines some that I agree with some that I don't but it gets you thinking that right now we know we have people teaching false doctrine and when Jesus was still alive before his crucifixion there was false doctrines there was false doctrines after he was resurrected and in the time of the apostles we know that there were people teaching false doctrines and in fact Apollos was taking a side by Priscilla and Aquila and taught things that he didn't know yet but Ignatius was teaching that if you believe false doctrines are you are being taught by someone who teaches false doctrines you're going to hell anyway all of this is really good and interesting and I look forward to listening to letters from other early Christian leaders

Longer recensions, not the originals.

The versions of St. Ignatius' letters being read here are not the original versions (the shorter recensions), but rather the longer versions which were edited later and had significant parts added on. You can find the original, shorter recensions for free online in the public domain. I wish I had known this before using one of my Audible credits on this audiobook.
