Description
Summary:Cui bono? The cardinal problems of Ignatian scholarship are set aside here in order to investigate the function of the differences found in the Corpus Ignatianum between the Letter to the Romans and the six epistles addressed to readers in Asia Minor. The focus is on the recipients of this epistolary composition and their function. Guided by Cicero’s leading question Cui Bono?, the presumption is that members of the Roman community, possibly the Ignatians, were the most likely to have created the Letter to the Romans. Can this suspicion be confirmed? Based on the personal note in IgnRom 4:3a, this article will explore the effect on our historical understanding of the Letter to the Romans attributed to Ignatius, as well as the function of the corpus as a whole.
