"Allow me to be eaten by the beasts, through whom I can attain to God. I am God’s wheat, and I am ground by the teeth of wild beasts, so that I may become pure bread of Christ… Let there come upon me fire, and the cross, and struggle with wild beasts, cutting and tearing apart, racking of bones, mangling of limbs, crushing of my whole body…may I but attain to Jesus Christ!"

(Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, quoted in Elaine Pagel’s The Gnostic Gospels, p.82, pub. A.D.1979)
