Answer to the Animadversions on the Dissertations touching Ignatius Epistles

A rigorous 1654 polemical treatise in which Owen defends the authenticity and episcopal witness of the Ignatian epistles against Henry Hammond's animadversions. Working through the Apostolical Canons, textual corruptions, congregational objections, and patristic citations, Owen mounts a meticulous chapter-by-chapter response. A landmark in the seventeenth-century debate over church government, demonstrating Owen's formidable command of early church history and Greek scholarship.
