Riepilogo:This article provides an exegetical argument for the meaning of the »law of Christ« in the middle recension of the letters of Ignatius of Antioch.

Throughout, I engage New Testament scholarship on the law of Christ and conclude the piece with a brief reflection on the relevance of my findings for Pauline scholarship.
