In addition to the general use of these materials by Ignatius, it seems that he chose as his favorite resources those materials which offered little or no trace of sympathy for the Jewish perspective within Christianity. The author endorses the view that Ignatius was at least familiar with those early Christian materials within the Antiochian community which eventually were subsumed into the Didache and, perhaps, even with an early form of the text itself. Keywords: Antioch; Christianity; Didache ; Ignatius; John
