Ignatius of Antioch: What Can We Learn?

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Evangelist and radio show host Joe McClane. We discussed one of out favorite saints, St Ignatius of Antioch. There is so much that Christians today can learn from him and they would be wise to do so.

Ignatius of Antioch

Saint Ignatius of Antioch was a disciple of St. John, who himself was a disciple of Jesus. He was the bishop of Antioch, and Antioch is where followers of Jesus were first called Christians. In 110 A.D. he was captured and was taken to Rome for his eventual martyrdom.

On the way to Rome he wrote seven letters to churches that give us a glimpse into church life and doctrine. Early in we see the Eucharist as the body and blood of Christ, the role of the bishop, and even the primacy of Rome

Listen to the interview I did with Joe McClane to discover what we can learn from the life and teaching of this great saint.
