1st Century Early Christian Church Fathers - Writings
First Know that this Book is NOT "LOST BOOKS of the Bible" but it is Early Writings of the Church Fathers, those who Were Around the First Century of Christ. It claims to be Teaching of the Apostles, Nevertheless it did NOT meet the Canon of Scripture, in other words it is NOT Inerrant like any book on Biblical Truth. This is NOT Roman Catholic Dogma. For Those who want to know what the early Christians taught and required the new believers to adhere to. Abortion was Forbidden from the early Christian Communities. It is Broken into THREE Parts. Part 1) The main theme is the “Two Ways”, “The Way of Life and the Way of Death”. Part 2) Deals with Christian life lessons, fating, rituals such as baptism and eucharist Holy Communion. Part 3) Concentrations on the ministry. Jesus is Returning and it Exhorts Believers to Live Holy & Righteous, being godly in this life. Simply, The Didache meaning “Teaching” is the short name of a Christian manual compiled before 300AD. The full title is The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles.. Read full review

Ancient Christian Writers: Didache, Barnabas, Polycarp
I own many books from the earliest years of the Christian Faith. By far the best are those from Paulist Press’s "Ancient Christian Writers" series. I cannot think of a better edition of the Early Church Fathers out there. There may be cheaper collections, but these translations and notes are solid academically and theologically – and much easier to read. I have about two dozen of these great books. This particular volume was one of the ones edited by the legendary Patristic scholar Johannes Quasten (the translator, James Kliest) and contains "The Didache," or The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, "The Epistle of Barnabas," "The Epistles and Martyrdom of St. Polycarp," "The Fragments of Papias" and the "Epistle to Diognetus." Each work is prefaced by scholarly expository material. The translations are modern and annotated, and the endnotes provide a wealth of detailed study information. This specific volume, the Didache, is one of two volumes that come off my shelf most regularly. The Didache is essential reading for the Christian. For what little my opinion is worth, I believe that this little work is perhaps the most important early extra-biblical text there is. "The Didache" (first to third century, AD) is a document discovered in the 19th century that resolved many questions both in regards to life in the early church and the evolution of a. number of ancient Christian documents that appeared to have a common source appear to have that source in the Didache which probably has elements that were composed as early as the first century. This work purports to contain apostolic teachings for Christian living and worship procedures and includes specific instructions on baptism and the celebration of the Lord's Supper. This short work was written as a sort of pamphlet (or tract to use the modern jargon) designed to evangelize pagans. This text is VERY early, probably written around 90AD It begins with a bold statement. To paraphrase: "There are two ways, one of life and one of death." It then goes on to address the moral teachings of the Church. After this opening section on Christian morality, there is a section on Christian worship, specifically regarding the Eucharistic celebration. "The Epistle of Barnabas" (2nd century, AD) is an ancient Christian letter by an unknown yet probably authoritative author. It was held in very high regard by early Christianity and is an exhortation to persistence in the Christian way. It contains specific admonitions against "Judaizing," the major error of the writer's day and contrasts the Christian understanding of religious history with that of Judaism. This is polemical literature and must be read in that light. The letters of Bishop Polycarp of Smyrna to the Philippians (about AD 135) is also an important early Christian document. Polycarp is believed to have been a disciple of St. John who lived to an old age before his martyrdom in the middle of the second century. This letter of his is a warm, fatherly letter to fellow Christians who were probably struggling with the doctrines of Marcion. Polycarp relies heavily on the writings of Paul and Peter as he exhorts his readers. "The Martyrdom of Polycarp" is a mid-second century writing that purports to tell the story of how Polycarp died. With this writing, the cult of the martyrs was born as Christians begin to revere the memories of those who had died for the cause. The "Fragments of Papias" is highly esteemed as having experienced apostRead full review
