Pseudo-Ignatius

Pseudo-Ignatius was a 4th-century writer who claimed to be Ignatius of Antioch. He is the author of the Ignatian forgeries but he also wrote the Apostolic Constitutions and a Commentary on Job. Harnack also identified Pseudo-Clement with Pseudo-Ignatius. Pseudo-Ignatius has some Arian leanings, but not completely Arian, yet on the hand, he in some ways resembles the Apollinarians. However it is not possible to draw clear conclusions on his Christology. According to Bart D. Ehrman, the writer likely claimed the name Ignatius to bolster his own theological views. rdf:langString
