Summary:
"In 'Ignatius of Antioch and the Arian Controversy', Paul R. Gilliam III contends that the legacy of the second-century martyr Ignatius of Antioch was one battleground upon which Nicene and non-Nicene personalities fought for their understanding of the relationship of the Son to the Father. It is well-known that Ignatius' views continued to live on into the fourth century via the long recension of his letters. Gilliam, however, shows that there was much more to Ignatius' fourth-century presence than the Ignatian long recension."-- Provided by publisher.
