Nine Hidden Lives by Robert Gold Secrets only survive in the dark When journalist Ben Harper is asked to help re-examine an unsolved murder case from thirty years ago, he immediately agrees. It's not just that the victim was also a journalist, murdered after she'd published a series of shocking interviews with victims of domestic abuse. It's also that he understands all too well the need of victim's daughter, Doctor Uma Jha, for answers. But it's not long before their investigation leads to threats being made on Uma's life. Ben needs to unravel this crime before it's too late, but instead he finds himself tangled in a web of lies and deception. After all, a crime like murder has implications for many people. People who have been keeping secrets for thirty years, and will do whatever it takes to protect them. Strangers in Time by David Baldacci Fourteen-year-old Charlie Matters is up to no good, but for a very good reason. Without parents, peerage, or merit, he steals what he needs, living day-to-day until he's old enough to enlist to fight the Germans. After barely surviving the Blitz, Charlie knows there's no telling when a falling bomb might end his life. Fifteen-year-old Molly Wakefield has just returned to a nearly unrecognizable London. One of millions of children to have been evacuated to the countryside Molly has been away from her home for nearly five years. Her return, however, is not the homecoming she'd hoped for as she's confronted by a devastating reality: neither of her parents are there. Without guardians and stability, Charlie and Molly find an unexpected ally and protector in Ignatius Oliver, and solace at his bookshop, The Book Keep. Mourning the recent loss of his wife, Ignatius forms a kinship with both children, and in each other they rediscover the spirit of family each has lost. But Charlie's escapades in the city have not gone unnoticed, and someone's been following Molly since she returned to London. And Ignatius is harboring his own secrets, which could have terrible consequences for all of them. As bombs continue to bear down on the city, Charlie, Molly, and Ignatius learn that while the perils of war rage on, their coming together and trusting one another may be the only way for them to survive.

Why does the Gospel of Mark make specific and repeated reference to the compassion of Jesus in the miracle stories? Compassion and the Characterization of the Markan Jesus (Brill, 2024) discusses the function that compassion has in the Markan characterization of Jesus, particularly in how the terminology employed depicts Jesus as entering the suffering of others. In doing so, it underscores how this portrayal is exceptional among the stories of miracle workers in ancient Greco-Roman and Jewish literature. In Mark, this compassion toward the suffering other is a central feature of the kingdom of God, an attribute the Markan audience is challenged to emulate. Jonathan W. Bryant, Ph.D (2023), Loyola University Chicago, is Senior Editor of Bibles and Bible reference works at Tyndale House Publishers and is an ordained minister of The Wesleyan Church. Jonathon Lookadoo is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea. While his interests range widely over the world of early Christianity, he is the author of books on the Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius of Antioch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, including The Christology of Ignatius of Antioch (Cascade, 2023).

The art of discernment is a hallmark feature of Ignatian spirituality. From the moment Ignatius began to differentiate between consolations and desolations during his eleven-month convalescence in Loyola to today, Jesuits and lay collaborators have been mining the depths of what it means to listen to and act on God's invitation in our lives. Today, we get a crash course in discernment. Fr. Mark Thibodeaux—renown spiritual author, Jesuit priest and the pastor of Holy Name of Jesus Church in New Orleans—is back on the pod to talk about his newest book, “Discern: Listening for God's Whispers.” Fr. Mark is a modern-day master of the Ignatian spiritual tradition. As you listen to this conversation, I invite to really bring his ideas into your own prayer. We're all constantly tasked with making decision—big, small and otherwise. Ignatian discernment can be a big help, no matter where you are in your own vocational journey.

On today's episode we cover a lot of ground! Luther's two-shephere theology, "order of creation" doctrine, and the German Christian abuses of speculative theology in the name of Christ. Then we explore Ignatius of Loyola's "Ignation Contemplation" also known as "imaginative prayer." What does this practice have to offer us today? At the end of the episode we practice this form of prayer together. 

Sister Mary Michael joins us for a conversation on Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, 12 steps, and our Mission.Summary: In this episode, we welcome back Sister Mary Michael, a seasoned Dominican Sister from the Saint Cecilia community in Nashville, to Oklahoma for a heartfelt conversation. With over 35 years as a religious sister, she shares her passion for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, her work with Franciscan University, and her unique ministry with men in recovery. At a recent men's conference, she introduced the power of the 12 Steps—rooted in Alcoholics Anonymous but universally applicable—as a practical path to freedom from destructive habits, paired with insights from Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Sister Mary Michael's warmth, humor, and wisdom shine as she encourages men to embrace their God-given mission and reorder their lives with grace.Key Topics: - Who She Is: A Dominican Sister with a doctorate in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Sister Mary Michael works with four-year-olds on Fridays, teaches at Franciscan University's Catechetical Institute, and speaks at men's conferences. - Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: A Montessori-inspired, Hebraic approach to children's faith formation, rooted in the pedagogy of God and the Church's heart. She's written a book on it and sees it as a growing movement (highlighted in the 2020 Directory for Catechesis). - Men in Recovery: Inspired by landscaping help from men in recovery, she's taken their stories on the road, blending the 12 Steps with Ignatian spirituality to address universal patterns of behavior—addictions big and small. - The 12 Steps: Sister explores their accessibility and power, starting with Step 1: admitting powerlessness over habits (e.g., anger, control, manipulation) and unmanageability in life. She connects this to grace and personal transformation. - Universal Application: From vanity to strong opinions, we're all “recovering sinners.” The 12 Steps offer a fearless moral inventory (Step 4) and accountability (Step 5), helping anyone break free from vices. - Grace and Nature: The steps align with the Church's heritage—practical like the 12 Steps or spiritual like Ignatius—showing how grace perfects our disordered nature. - Men's Mission: She challenges men to reject Satan's distortions, embrace their masculine genius, and take action to live out God's purpose.Quotable Moments:- “Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori Hebraic approach—it's how God brings people to Himself.” - “I'm powerless over this, and my life's unmanageable—that's a grace right there.” - “I'm not taking that drink of criticism or gossip—it's a shot of vodka to my soul.” - “God's got a beautiful mission for you, and Satan's not gonna leave you alone—so it's time to do something about it.” Resources Mentioned: - Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: Learn more about this movement online or through Sister's book. - The 12 Steps: Google them—read through and reflect on what challenges you. - Ignatian Spirituality: Explore how it aligns with the 12 Steps for deeper growth. Closing Thoughts: Sister Mary Michael's eclectic life—from teaching kids to guiding men—offers a fresh take on recovery and holiness. Her practical, grace-filled approach makes this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking freedom and purpose. Thanks for joining us, Sister—God bless!

In this special episode, Dr. Boyce sits down with Ignatian scholar Jack Bull to explore one of the most debated textual traditions of early Christianity—the letters of Ignatius of Antioch. With three competing recensions—the Short, the Middle, and the Long—each offering a different window into the voice and theology of the early church, which version truly reflects the historical Ignatius?Together, we'll walk through the textual history, theological developments, and manuscript evidence for each recension. From the minimalist Syriac tradition to the highly stylized Marian expansions of the Long Recension, what do these versions tell us about the evolution of early Christian thought—and about the editorial hands that shaped it?If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7 Here is a link to Jack's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PatristicaHere is a link to the Syriac Short Recension: https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/syriac-versions-of-the-ignatian-epistles-20958Here is a link to the Middle and Long: https://ccel.org/ccel/ignatius_antioch/epistles_of_ignatius/anf01.v.html#IgnatiusOfAntioch#TextualTradition#EarlyChristianity#Patristics#ChurchFathers#ShortRecension#MiddleRecension#LongRecension#SyriacChristianity#MartyrdomTheology#HistoricalTheology#AncientChurch#JackBull#DrBoyce#TheFACTSPodcast#IgnatianLetters#ManuscriptStudies#ChristianOrigins#TheologyPodcast#EarlyChurchDebates

Eric A. Clayton is a born storyteller. Writing fiction as a child, his grandmother would edit Eric's fantastical stories about elves and dragons, teaching him the skills of imaginary world-building.It is no wonder, then, that as an adult, Eric loves borrowing from the colorful St. Ignatius, who helped Eric find his spirituality as a writer, first for Catholic Relief Services and now as the deputy director of communications at the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States, here in Baltimore.As Eric explains in this week's podcast, St. Ignatius of Loyola was a soldier and minor noble who "was all about winning wars and wooing women" until he was hit by a cannonball during the Battle of Pamplona. The ordeal led him to put down his sword, become a pilgrim, and found the Jesuit order of priests."We're talking about these trajectory-changing instances in our lives," he said. "And they can be pretty brutal, pretty tragic and traumatic."Eric draws from the inspirational type of prayer that Ignatius taught the Jesuits to pursue — imaginative, contemplative, and most of all experiential."He's really big on getting out into the world," Eric said. "The Jesuits, founded in the mid 1500s, were different than other religious orders because they lived in the world. They didn't live in monasteries."The story of St. Ignatius' self-discovery is where the phrase Cannonball Moments, the title of Eric's second book, comes from."It's kind of a flippant term that folks use in the wider Ignatian community," he said.Aside from Cannonball Moments: Telling Your Story, Deepening Your Faith, Eric also has written My Life With the Jedi: The Spirituality of Star Wars. His third book, Finding Peace Here and Now: How Ignatian Spirituality Leads Us to Healing and Wholeness, is due out in 2025.Meanwhile, he also writes the award-winning weekly column, "Now Discern This," and has a Substack channel with some very entertaining headlines. It may be trite, Eric says, but for him writing is a form of prayer.Eric is not only a gifted writer — and you can learn more about his work on his website — but he is also an engaging conversationalist who will have you instantly tuned in when you listen to this week's episode of Chiseled. Enjoy.

The First Letter to the Corinthians begins with an admonishment of the church over their internal division and reliance on human wisdom. What exactly occasioned Paul's advice has perennially troubled New Testament scholars. Many scholars have asserted that Paul disapproved of the Corinthians' infatuation with rhetoric. Yet careful exegesis of the epistle problematizes this consensus.  In Rediscovering the Wisdom of the Corinthians (Eerdmans, 2024), Timothy A. Brookins unsettles common assumptions about the Corinthian conflict in this innovative monograph. His close reading of 1 Corinthians 1–4 presents evidence that the Corinthian problem had roots in Stoicism. The wisdom Paul alludes to is not sophistry, but a Stoic-inspired understanding of natural hierarchy, in which the wise put themselves above believers they considered spiritually underdeveloped. Moreover, Paul's followers saw themselves as a philosophical school in rivalry with other Christians, engendering divisions in the church.  Combining scriptural exegesis and investigation of Greco-Roman philosophical culture, Brookins reconstructs the social sphere of Corinth that Paul addresses in his letter. His masterful analysis provides much needed clarity on the context of a major epistle and on Pauline theology more broadly. Timothy A. Brookins is Professor of Early Christianity at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas. His research interests include the Pauline epistles and the Greco-Roman philosophical and rhetorical traditions. He is the author of Reading 1 Corinthians: A Literary and Theological Commentary and Ancient Rhetoric and the Style of Paul's Letters. Jonathon Lookadoo is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims, to the start of our 4th voyage with Mother Cabrini. This time she is traveling from New York to Nicaragua.  Very briefly, I want to give a short history lesson. Today, Mother is going to talk about visiting Manresa and I want you be clear on what she means by that.  If you saw the movie, you saw Mother Cabrini buy a big home that had been abandoned by Jesuits. She got it for a good price because it lacked fresh water. In the movie, the Sisters dig tons of holes looking for a well, but that is not an accurate description as to what happened. Mother pointed out pretty quickly where the well should be dug and it was a correct spot.  Anyway, Manresa is the name of the property and home that Mother bought. Why the name Manresa? Well, the property was owned by the Jesuits and the Jesuits were founded by the Spaniard St. Ignatius of Loyola. Manresa is a city in Spain and a sight of pilgrimage because of St. Ignatius' time there. Manresa doesn't translate into anything in Spanish, it's just the name of a city.  So, I will provide a link in the show notes from the Cabrini Shrine in New York that gives some more information on Manresa and the finding of water there. With all that, let's begin our next voyage with Mother to Nicaragua by turning to page 59. https://cabrinishrinenyc.org/a-new-home-for-the-orphans/

Full Text of ReadingsThursday of the Second Week of Lent Lectionary: 233The Saint of the day is Saint Salvator of HortaSaint Salvator of Horta's Story A reputation for holiness does have some drawbacks. Public recognition can be a nuisance at times—as the confreres of Salvator found out. Salvator was born during Spain's Golden Age. Art, politics, and wealth were flourishing. So was religion. Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society of Jesus in 1540. Salvator's parents were poor. At the age of 21, he entered the Franciscans as a brother and was soon known for his asceticism, humility, and simplicity. As cook, porter, and later the official beggar for the friars in Tortosa, he became well known for his charity. He healed the sick with the Sign of the Cross. When crowds of sick people began coming to the friary to see Salvator, the friars transferred him to Horta. Again, the sick flocked to ask his intercession; one person estimated that 2,000 people a week came to see Salvator. He told them to examine their consciences, go to confession, and to receive Holy Communion worthily. He refused to pray for those who would not receive those sacraments. The public attention given to Salvator was relentless. The crowds would sometimes tear off pieces of his habit as relics. Two years before his death, Salvator was moved again, this time to Cagliari on the island of Sardinia. He died at Cagliari saying, “Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.” He was canonized in 1938. The liturgical feast of Saint Salvator of Horta is celebrated on March 18. Reflection Medical science is now seeing more clearly the relation of some diseases to one's emotional and spiritual life. In Healing Life's Hurts, Matthew and Dennis Linn report that sometimes people experience relief from illness only when they have decided to forgive others. Salvator prayed that people might be healed, and many were. Surely not all diseases can be treated this way; medical help should not be abandoned. But notice that Salvator urged his petitioners to reestablish their priorities in life before they asked for healing. Your field guide to flying saints. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Father Timothy Gallagher joins Patrick to discuss Avoiding Solitude in the Spiritual Life (03:14) Fr. Timothy Gallagher's Website: Ignatian Discernment Institute | Discernment of Spirits(3:45) - Rule 13: What Ignatius does in this rule is to give us a kind of parable to help us understand how the world the flesh and the devil affect us. His image of the enemy in this case is “the false lover”. (6:20) - Rita: How does solitude work when it comes to hermits? they are always alone Being a hermit is a canonical vocation in the Church. (31:54) How do you begin a time of prayer? Ignatius asks us to invite the eyes of God to look upon us during prayer. What did people see in the eyes of Jesus when they came to Him with good will. Invariably they saw His infinite love in His eyes. Prayer is two persons in communication, the human person and the divine. Take a moment to see that the eyes of God with His infinite love are looking upon us. Learning more about formation in prayer is going to lead us to a deeper prayer life. (40:18) Email – Anonymous: I go to regular Confession and have a spiritual director. Sometimes it feels like venting difficulties is gossiping. What do you think? (44:41)

In this episode of FACTS, Stephen takes a deep dive into the writings of Ignatius of Antioch to answer a critical question: Did Ignatius believe that Jesus was God in the flesh? Focusing on key passages from Ignatius's Letter to the Ephesians and Letter to the Romans, Stephen explores Ignatius's use of the provocative phrase “the blood of God” and what it reveals about his understanding of Jesus's divinity and humanity. Did Ignatius truly believe that God suffered and died in the person of Jesus Christ — or were later scribes and translators softening his radical Christology? Tune in to uncover the evidence and discover why Ignatius's view of Jesus remains central to early Christian theology.If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7 #IgnatiusOfAntioch #EarlyChurch #Christology #JesusIsGod #ChurchFathers #ChristianHistory #BloodOfGod #Ephesians #Romans #FACTSPodcast #HistoricalTheology #EarlyChristianity #Patristics #DivinityOfChrist

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. — Psalm 139:23-24 Engaging in personal reflection leads to self-discovery and growth. Taking time to explore our thoughts, emotions, and actions can lead us to redemptive, healing, and empowering outcomes. In my own life, I've experienced the benefit of reflective practices. Through the examen of Ignatius, for example, I've learned to discern God's presence in my daily life, identify areas for improvement, and seek God's guidance for the future. This exercise has brought clarity, peace, and a deep sense of purpose. Taking a personal inventory has also been beneficial to me. By honestly assessing my strengths, weaknesses, and values, I've been able to make intentional decisions aligned with my beliefs and aspirations. This self-awareness has led to personal growth and a stronger sense of identity. Imagination is important in reflective practices. Envisioning different outcomes or a favorable future can inspire hope, motivate us, and build our resilience. We can see beyond our current situation and consider new possibilities. Psalm 139:23-24 reminds us to invite God into our self-reflection, asking him to reveal any areas in our lives that need redemption and guidance. This process leads us on a path of healing and empowerment guided by the Lord's wisdom and grace. Father in heaven, guide us to seek your wisdom. May our introspection be redemptive and healing, aligning us with your purposes. Amen.

Episode 1 The Daily Prayer of Discernment: The Ignatian Wisdom of the Examen Prayer– Serves as an introduction to the coming series and the Examen Prayer. Can we live with our spiritual eyes open to catch the action of God? The Examen Prayer is the one prayer St. Ignatius could not imagine doing without. You can't standstill in the spiritual life if you are praying the Examen Prayer. Father Timothy M. Gallagher, O.M.V., was ordained in 1979 as a member of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, a religious community dedicated to retreats and spiritual formation according to the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. Fr. Gallagher is featured on the EWTN series "Living the Discerning Life: The Spiritual Teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola".

Timothy Gallagher – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

The epistles of Ignatius in the Short recension are preserved for us in this form only in the Syriac. If they are more representative of the original writings of Ignatius, then they are some of the earliest Christian documents, offering a glimpse into the mind and heart of an early martyr of the church who was centered in Antioch. The current scholarly opinion is that these are an abridgement of the Middle Recension, but it is included here because that view has received challenge in the recent quarter century, some theorizing that the short recension is actually closer to the form of the original letters. Both the Short and the Middle Recensions will have their own resource episode. Have a question? Send me an email: churchhistoryandtheology@proton.meAll Resource episodes of Church History and Theology are donated to the public domain.

In this episode, Stephen responds to Dr. James White's claim that the bishopric was an Eastern development that only later spread to the West. Dr. White argues that Ignatius of Antioch's letters provide evidence for this view, particularly noting that Ignatius does not explicitly mention a bishop in his letter to the Romans. Stephen critically examines this argument, exploring the historical and theological significance of Ignatius' writings, the broader context of early church governance, and whether the absence of a direct reference to a bishop in Rome necessarily supports White's conclusion. Tune in for a thoughtful and well-researched discussion on the origins of episcopal leadership in the early Church.If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7 #ChurchHistory #EarlyChurch #IgnatiusOfAntioch #Bishopric #JamesWhite #CatholicVsProtestant #ApostolicSuccession #EasternChurch #WesternChurch #ChristianTheology #BiblicalDebate #ChurchFathers #ChristianPodcast #Orthodoxy #HistoricalTheology

The halls of Argynvostholt echo with whispers of betrayal and power lost to time. As the party uncovers the history of the ruined castle, they learn of Osibis, a power-hungry lich who sought godhood through dark and unspeakable rituals. His rise to power was rivaled by Strav von Zorovi, a general who made her own dark pact, becoming something unnatural—something Osibis could not overcome.Lady Argenvast, the great silver dragon, once led a doomed battle against Strahd, only to be betrayed by Osibis himself. She thought she could bargain and keep her soul, but lost everything—including her head, which now sits as a gruesome trophy in Strahd's castle. Her knights, defeated and scattered, are now trapped in an endless cycle of torment, bound by Osibis' power—a fate that now looms over Ignatius.With the weight of these revelations, Ignatius faces his own twisted fate. Osibis does not just take power—he consumes souls. Those who strike a deal with him become part of his strength, and defeating him means facing what remains of themselves. As the party watches in horror, Ignatius sees the full truth of his own pact: his shadow steps forward, unsheathing a blade, issuing a silent but deadly challenge.Can Ignatius sever himself from the darkness? Or has his fate already been sealed?Listen now and witness the battle for his very soul.

The party explored the ruined castle of Argynvostholt, following the sound of a woman's scream to the upper floors. Along the way, they witnessed a vision of a dragon of ash and soot battling Strahd, with a dark entity Ignatius recognized from his time near death. Even with its Omega tattoo, it was no match for Strahd.At the source of the scream, they found an ancient, enraged woman attacking a wooden bedpost with her longsword. She turned on the party, injuring Quinn before they calmed her spirit and uncovered her identity—Lady Gwilym, once a knight of the castle and the lover of Vlaka Horn Guard, captain of Argenvast Holt's forces under the great dragon Lady Argenvast.With this new knowledge, they climbed another flight of stairs, pushing deeper into the castle's secrets.

Mystics and prophets have reported receiving visions from the Divine for centuries—”Thus saith the Lord…”—Hildegard of Bingen, Teresa of Avila, Ignatius of Loyola, Catherine of Siena, or Julian of Norwich. The list goes on.But what would you think if you met a seer of visions in the present day? Maybe you have.What about a prophet whose visions came like a movie screen unfurled before him, the images grotesque and vivid, all in the unsuspecting backwoods setting of Lookout Mountain, deep in the south of Tennessee.Would you believe it?

What if the receiver of visions makes art that reaches a girl who's stuck in the darkest grip of a fraught world? What if the Devil really did sit in the corner of the kitchen, wearing a cowboy hat, and what if he got to tell his own side of the Biblical story?On today's episode novelist Jamie Quatro joins Macie Bridge to share about her relationship to the theological exploration within her latest novel, Two-Step Devil; her experience of being a Christian and a writer, but not a “Christian Writer”; and how the trinity of main characters in the novel speak to and open up her own deepest concerns about the state of our country and the world we inhabit.Jamie Quatro is the New York Times Notable author of I Want to Show You More, and Fire Sermon. *Two-Step Devil* is her latest work and is the winner of the 2024 Willie Morris Award for Southern Writing, and it's also been named a New York Times Editor's Choice, among other accolades.

Though I really wasn't feeling well after I arrived here in Amarillo, I felt it was absolutely necessary to address the amazingly dishonest attacks that have been launched against me about a single cross-examination question from Saturday night's debate. So we did a full dive into Ignatius, his writings, the issues with the transmission of those writings, forgeries, you name it, and then walked through the actual text cited in the debate demonstrating that the actual answer I gave was fully substantiated by the text itself. It is my hope that those who are planning to continue this campaign of misrepresentation will listen to this presentation, realize the foolishness of such an action, repent of their intentions, and cease and desist with their activities. That is up to them. For everyone else, you get to learn a whole lot about issues related to ancient church history! Enjoy!

In Paul's New Creation: Vision for a New World and Community (Lexington Book, 2023), Sejong Chun presents inter(con)textual readings of Paul's new creation passages from the perspective of the Korean immigrant church in America. Chun focuses on Paul's new creation's cosmic dimension and ecclesiastical character and proposes the ekklēsia as a tangible embodiment. The author suggests that Paul, as a middleman, accomplishes the collective project of the Jerusalem collection with his Gentile churches to declare independence from the Jerusalem church authority and to demonstrate God's alternative economy against the exploitative system of the Roman Empire. Sejong Chun completed his PhD at Vanderbilt University. He currently serves as a visiting professor of the New Testament at Yonsei University as well as founder and senior pastor of New Creation Church in Daegu, South Korea. Jonathon Lookadoo is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea. While his interests range widely over the world of early Christianity, he is the author of books on the Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius of Antioch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, including The Christology of Ignatius of Antioch (Cascade, 2023).
