Baptists, Eucharist, and History 11 – Justin Martyr on the Trinity
This post continues our reflections on Justin Martyr’s First Apology. I want to take a slight detour here for an examination of the Trinity. I’ve heard the assertion a number of times that the doctrine of the Trinity was a late-developing dogma of Christianity. While it is true that some of the first dogmatic and [...]

Baptists, Eucharist, and History 10 – Justin Martyr on Administration of the Mysteries
Now we will move forward several decades and reflect on Justin Martyr’s First Apology. This places us right in the middle of the second century. There are few left alive at this point who personally encountered any of the apostles, but there are still those few. There are now many who have been taught by [...]

Baptists, Eucharist, and History 9 – Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans Redux
I decided to open and close the posts in this series reflecting on St. Ignatius with different chapters in his letter to the Smyrnaeans. In my first look at this letter, I focused on chapter 8. In this post I’m going to consider chapter 6. Let no man be deceived. Even the heavenly things, and [...]

Baptists, Eucharist, and History 8 – Ignatius to the Romans
In today’s letter to the Romans, St. Ignatius is preparing for martyrdom. As always, I recommend reading the whole letter. It won’t take long. But for the purposes of this series, I’m going to focus on chapter VII. The prince of this world would fain carry me away, and corrupt my disposition towards God. Let [...]

Baptists, Eucharist, and History 7 – Ignatius to the Philadelphians
Next, let’s look at the letter of St. Ignatius of Antioch to the Philadelphians. This is a very short letter and I recommend reading the entire letter. For the purpose of this post, though, we’re going to focus on chapter 4. Be diligent, therefore, to use one eucharist, for there is one flesh of our [...]

Baptists, Eucharist, and History 5 – Clement, Corinth, and Order
I’m going to open this post with chapter 40 from Clement’s letter to the Corinthians. Since, therefore, these things have been made manifest before unto us, and since we have looked into the depths of the divine knowledge, we ought to do everything in order, whatsoever the Lord hath commanded us to do at the [...]

Baptists, Eucharist, and History 4 – Clement of Rome
Having already reflected on the Didache or Teaching in my previous series, I want to begin our exploration of the historical view of the Eucharist with the Letter of Clement, Bishop of Rome, to the Corinthian Church. This letter was written in the late first century. Some date it as early as 70 AD. Others [...]
