The Ignatian Epistles Entirely Spurious is a book written by W. D. Killen that challenges the authenticity of the letters attributed to St. Ignatius of Antioch, a prominent figure in early Christianity. Killen argues that the letters were not actually written by Ignatius, but were instead the product of later Christian writers seeking to promote their own theological views. The book provides a detailed analysis of the content and language of the letters, as well as the historical context in which they were written, to support this argument. Killen's work is a significant contribution to the ongoing debate over the authenticity of the Ignatian epistles, and will be of interest to scholars and students of early Christianity and the history of the Christian Church.There are other indications in this letter that it cannot have been written at the date ascribed to it by the advocates of the Ignatian Epistles. It contains an admonition to pray for kings (or the kings), authorities, and princes. [18:1] We are not at liberty to assume that these three names are precisely synonymous. By kings, or the kings, we may apparently understand the imperial rulers; by authorities, consuls, proconsuls, praetors, and other magistrates; and by princes, those petty sovereigns and others of royal rank to be found here and there throughout the Roman dominions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
