Zu Ignatius von Antiochien

ABSTRACT

This article continues the discussion about date of composition, authenticity, and adressee of the Corpus Ignatianum recently resumed by R. Joly, R.M. Hübner, and T. Lechner. Regarding especially the terminology used in the epistles and their dependance on Noet of Smyrna the author argues for an origin during the reign of Mark Aurel (161-180 AD). The Epistle to the Romans is considered to be the key to the entire Corpus Ignatianum which was written in the Christian community of Rome. The – successful – purpose of this pseudonymous opus has been to introduce and to establish the monepiscopate in the Roman church.
