Ignatius, the earliest church writer, no knowledge of New Testament & contradicts Paul - Dr. Jack Bull

 No real indepth analysis of Ignatius - Dr. Jack Bull did his Ph.D. on them

 Ignatius is the earliest known Christian writer to emphasize loyalty to a single bishop in each city (or diocese) who is assisted by both presbyters (elders) and deacons. Earlier writings only mention either bishops or presbyters.

  St. Ignatius (C. 35-107 AD) wrote seven letters on his way to Rome. These letters are the earliest Church writings in existence.

 Ignatius was first or 2nd Bishop of Antioch - after Peter
