About Ignaria
A research tool for the Christian tradition — not a writer, not a thinker, and not a personalized feed of what's “for you.”
What it is
Ignaria retrieves primary sources from a declared library under filters you can see and change. It synthesizes a research brief from that retrieval — blockquoted and cited so you can open the source and check it. Thin coverage is flagged, not invented.
Its job is to expose interrelated ideas and the development of doctrine across centuries — so you can see where an idea sits in the Church's conversation. The Conversation Graph maps connections in your thread and the library in play. You still interpret.
What it is not
- —It is not designed to write for anyone — not sermons, articles, papers, or notes.
- —It is not designed to think for anyone — you study, judge the streams, and decide what the sources mean.
- —It does not choose “what's for you” from your interests or patterns. Retrieval runs over a declared corpus you can constrain.
Why it exists
I built Ignaria so people who name the name of Christ can see more clearly where their ideas fit within His body — and how much of our thinking we owe to a shared heritage that predates many later divisions. In a small way, that aims at His prayer in John 17.
It is a niche tool. It will not fit everyone's method of study — and that is fine. Some readers prefer one volume, one author, or one question at a time without a research interface.
Resurrection Publishing
Ignaria is a product of Resurrection Publishing LLC. Alongside the app, Resurrection Publishing brings older Christian works into print — many already exist, but often in poor quality — and publishes them thematically for readers who want depth without a chat interface.
If that is how you prefer to study, the books are for you. Ignaria remains the research instrument for those who want to query the tradition with citations and follow a thread across centuries.
Who builds it
I'm Harvey Ramer — founder of Ignaria and Resurrection Publishing. I came to theology largely self-taught, with a year and a half of graduate study at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary. I read support mail, ship the product, and take citation accuracy seriously.
