About this product

Product Information

The writings in this volume cast a glimmer of light upon the emerging traditions and organization of the infant church, during an otherwise little-known period of its development. A selection of letters and small-scale theological treatises from a group known as the Apostolic Fathers, several of whom were probably disciples of the Apostles, they provide a first-hand account of the early Church and outline a form of early Christianity still drawing on the theology and traditions of its parent religion, Judaism. Included here are the first Epistle of Bishop Clement of Rome, an impassioned plea for harmony; The Epistle of Polycarp; The Epistle of Barnabas; The Didache; and the Seven Epistles written by Ignatius of Antioch - among them his moving appeal to the Romans that they grant him a martyr's death.

Translated 2nd century letters from bishops shows christian formation.
When Jesus died, a new religion was born. judism first split between those who thought that the messiah had come, and those who were still looking. Paul realized that old style theocratic judism was not going to work for the nonjews in greece and turkey, so a new sect was called Christians by the Romans - non jews who followed the teaching of paul and christ, not the old ways of jews. was christ god? man? both? new christians had to figure this out. these translated letters from second century bishops give clues to how this happened.
