Summary "The Ignatian Epistles Entirely Spurious: A Reply to the Right Rev. Dr. Lightfoot" by W. D. Killen, D.D. is a critical theological work written in the late 19th century. This book serves as a rebuttal to the claims made by theologian J.B. Lightfoot regarding the authenticity of the letters attributed to Ignatius of Antioch, which the author contests as forgeries aimed at supporting the hierarchical structure of the church. In his examination, Killen aims to provide clarity on the controversy surrounding these epistles and the implications of their acceptance for historical criticism and ecclesiastical authority. At the start of the book, Killen elaborates on the historical context of the Ignatian Epistles, discussing their ongoing scrutiny and the scholarly debate triggered by the Reformation. He highlights Lightfoot's position that the letters are genuine and examines the various scholars who have influenced this perspective. Killen expresses concern over the potential consequences of accepting these writings as authentic, as they allegedly promote ecclesiastical despotism and misrepresent the Christian faith. He outlines the critical viewpoints against the letters and posits that their acceptance could undermine established principles of historical examination and theological integrity.
