He saw this triumphal procession as Christ’s, as he went to a conquering death. As Christ’s death brought about reconciliation between Jew and Gentile, Ignatius hoped that his death, united with Christ’s, would bring about reconciliation within and among the churches to which he wrote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo centuries later, when the Arian controversy further divided the church, an unknown writer took on the persona of Ignatius to appeal for peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs today the church is more than ever divided, Fr. Stewart presents a fresh English version of both Ignatius and his imitator, with the Greek of Ignatius, and concise introductions to the letters. The most recent research on Ignatius is accessibly presented, and the first English version of the imitation Ignatius is here made available to students, to clergy, and to the people of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Translator:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlistair Stewart is an Anglican priest presently serving in the UK.
