Synopsis

About this title

Review:

'... a fine study, which advances knowledge of the reception of Ignatius in the fourth century and deepends scholarly understanding of the theological usages to his writings. This careful study generates new ways of thinking about the afterlife of the Ignatian corpus, and it will be [...] consulted with much profit.'
Paul Foster, University of Edinburgh, The Expository Times 129 (6) 2018 'Gilliam has admirably succeeded in demonstrating [...] that the controversy over Ignatius and his legacy was one battlegound upon which the Arian controversy was waged." [...] He has written a thoroughly enjoyable and informative study of a crucial period in the reception of Ignatius. His book illuminates a fascinating part of the history of the fourth-century Trinitarian controversies.'
Mark DelCogliano, University of St Thomas, Vigiliae Christianae 72, no. 4, 2018
