Which aspect of Christianity do Ignatius’s letters particularly address?

  • Iconography

  • Ecclesiology

  • Monasticism

  • Pilgrimage

Answer

Ecclesiology stands at the heart of Ignatius’s letters, where he delves into the structure, order, and unity of the church. Ignatius emphasizes the significance of hierarchical leadership, with bishops serving as the cornerstone of each local church, supported by priests and deacons. This framework, he argues, ensures the continuity of apostolic tradition and safeguards the purity of the faith.
