Annotatio IV §.VI open: Second century — Ignatius, Justin, Irenaeus on the true Eucharistic sentence

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

§.VI: in the SECOND Christian age after the Apostolic, the leading martyrs openly professed the true Eucharistic sentence from Christ and the Apostles.

Ignatius (start) turns the mind to the chief part held by faith alone; Justin (middle) to the lesser part not to be turned into the chief; Irenaeus (end) to both — presence, participation, and their mode.
