In this episode I begin reading Ignatius' epistles, starting with the epistle to the romans. In this epistle, we read of Ignatius' desire to be a martyr for Christ, or in his own words, "to attain to Christ". We see Ignatius calling Jesus our God and the bread of life, with quotations and references from the gospel of John and also the Gospel of Luke, along with some of Paul's epistles. Hope you enjoy listening.
