What happened to the church after the apostles were gone? Men they ordained like Ignatius and Polycarp demonstrate what it was like. They left behind nine amazing writings that illuminate the mystery of Jesus Christ and the challenges of the second-century church. This book has translations for each text with side-by-side commentary and other aids to help the reader understand and apply what is being said. Ignatius, bishop of Antioch, wrote seven letters on his way to Rome to be martyred in the arena. Six of these went to churches, including three churches that the apostle John had written to. Ignatius's seventh letter went to Polycarp, bishop of Smyrna. He, in turn, wrote a letter to the church at Philippi, the very church the apostle Paul founded and wrote to. The final piece, the first of its kind, is a detailed account of Polycarp's arrest and martyrdom in imitation of the Lord. The purpose of this book is to encourage and exhort readers to learn from the words and deeds of Ignatius and Polycarp how to follow Christ in the apostolic way of sacrificial and submissive love.
