“…Two recent essays in Bauer and Möllendorff (2018) demonstrate this difficulty clearly. Uta Heil (2018) explores Ignatius’s understanding of the Lord’s Day (κυριακή) in Magn. 9.1 and places Ignatius’s language in the context of other second-century discussions of Sunday.…”

“…Yet her discussion does not allow one to settle on a particular date for Ignatius’s letters. Although Vinzent (2011: 213) has suggested that Ignatius’s language about the Lord’s Day accords with Marcion, Heil argues that one would expect more explicit focus on Marcion if Ignatius had Marcion in view (2018: 217; see similarly Paget 2012: 86-87). Her comparison of Ignatius to a variety of second-century texts is enlightening when considering developments in the second century, but the chapter simultaneously illustrates the difficulty that scholars encounter when attempting to date Ignatius’s letters precisely in the second century.…”

This article examines recent studies of the date and authenticity of the letters of Ignatius of Antioch. Although the debate has a long history, this article focuses on the most recent period of this debate—from roughly 1997 through 2018. While not wanting to diminish the differences between contributors to this debate, three general views can be adduced. This article begins by highlighting the major players and formative contributors to each view. Of particular note in this most recent phase of debate is the separation of the date of the letters from the question of their authenticity. The article next turns to consider the primary pieces of evidence that are utilized when considering Ignatius’s date: the historical value of the Eusebian evidence, the possibility of interpolations within Polycarp’s Philippians, and Ignatius’s interactions with Second Sophistic rhetoric. The conclusion inquires about whether there is other evidence that might be utilized to aid scholars in dating and evaluating the Ignatian letters more securely.
