Life of Ignatius (jan 1, 35 – jan 1, 107)
Description:
Ignatius was one of the original post-apostolic age Church leaders, hailing from the patriarchal city of Antioch. After the apostles passed away, and with the rise of proto-Gnostic ideologies, Ignatius argued strongly for both the spiritual and physical natures of Christ. Christian tradition holds that he was martyred in Rome, by being fed to wild animals.Added to timeline:
