The Apostolic Fathers

Meer over het boek

A collection of the earliest known writings of the church, The Apostolic Fathers includes a sermon and six brief documents: the First and Second Epistles of Clement, the Didache, the Epistles of Ignatius, the Epistle of Polycarp, the Epistle about Polycarp's Martyrdom, and the Shepherd of Hermas. There are two ways, one of life and one of death, begins the Didache, and between the two ways there is a great difference. Followers of the way of life today will find much encouragement of those who first embarked on the path two millennia ago.
