Unitarian Christian Alliance | Nathan Massie - Ignatius of Antioch: Authenticity and Subapostolic Christology @UnitarianChristianAlliance | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
In a 2023 UCA Conference paper presentation, Nathan Massie argues that recent scholarship provides a basis to reject the middle and long recensions of church father Ignatius of Antioch. He argues the short recension most likely contains authentic letters from Ignatius, and that the additional letters in the other recensions are untrustworthy.
In his paper Massie writes: "The Christology that exists in the seven letter collection middle recension is not indicative of what an early second century subapostolic Christian believed about Christ."
