In celebration of the feast day of St. Ignatius of Antioch — student of St. John the Apostle — check out these awesome free mp3 audiobooks of his letters. Joe McClane from The Catholic Hack podcast recorded all seven of Ignatius’ letters, penned in A.D. 107 on his way to martyrdom. These are among the most powerful writings from the early church outside of the New Testament. The quotes I use in the “random quotes” part of this blog’s sidebar are lifted from Ignatius’ epistles.

These audio recordings are free, but Joe put a lot of work into them, so make a donation if you are able. Enjoy!
