Dying to Reach God

History & Biography

“William Weber has given us a literal yet readable translation of Ignatius and Polycarp, accompanied by a helpful commentary emphasizing Ignatius’s spiritual teaching within an Orthodox context. Protestants like myself may differ on some historical or theological points, but still need Ignatius’s spiritual message. His call to humility, dying to self, and a Christlike life, all well highlighted by Weber, is badly needed in our churches today.”
