The Memory of Ignatius of Antioch

Produktform: E-Buch Text Elektronisches Buch in proprietärem

The concept of 'memory' provides remarkable insight into the early second-century bishop and martyr Ignatius of Antioch.

This volume is structured around three related questions: What is the nature of the memories inherited by Ignatius and his communities, and how are they engaged in the rhetorical and polemical context of his letters?
