These letters were written in the first and second centuries and provide insight into the beliefs and practices of the early Christian church.

Polycarp was a bishop of Smyrna who also suffered martyrdom, and his letters were written to various churches and individuals in Asia Minor. The book includes an introduction that provides historical context and background information on the lives of Ignatius and Polycarp.
