Znaczenie modlitwy u św. Ignacego z Antiochii

Abstract

Christology is, next to unity, the main subject of the L etters of Ignatius of Antioch. This is reflected in the content of the prayers written in those letters. The documents in which this issue is mentioned, apart from, of course, general words on the fact that God become visible to us in Christ, can be divided into two groups: antidochetic passages stressing the reality of embodiment, death and resurrection of Christ, in the form of professions of faith or single definitions, and texts stressing the unity of divinity and humanity in Christ. An important element of the discourse is the impact of the prayer in the Old Testament and of the Hellenistic-Roman period on the prayer of the Church Fathers.
