In this episode, we go back to the earliest part of the 2nd century (100s) to listen to the Bishop of Antioch writing to a church in Smyrna as well as his letter to that church's bishop, a man named Polycarp. These are only two of the seven letters Ignatius wrote on his trip to Rome to be martyred. They are worthy of our attention, as are the other five (another episode). If you want to follow along, here are the links to the translations (Roberts Donaldson) I am using: Epistle to the Smyrnaeans: http://earlychristianwritings.com/text/ignatius-smyrnaeans-roberts.html Epistle to Polycarp: http://earlychristianwritings.com/text/ignatius-polycarp-roberts.html
