“The Ignatian Epistles Entirely Spurious: A Reply to the Right Rev. Dr. Lightfoot” by W. D. Killen is a theological commentary text written by an expert in the field, a professor of eccelsiastical history and a professor of Presbyterian theology in Ireland. The text was meant to bring into question the martyrdom of Ignatius, while also attempting to answer other inquiries that were often proposed by those who studied theology at the time of its writing. Religious debates have been present throughout history, thus the ability to read one from over a century ago is fortunate.
