<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Now with a new foreword by Mark Galli.<br/><br/>A collection of the earliest known writings of the church, <i>The Apostolic Fathers</i> 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. </p><p>"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.</p><p>The John Lightfoot (1602-1675) translation was the source used for this edition of <i>Apostolic Fathers.</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>The Apostolic Fathers</b> featured in this collection are Clement, a foreign secretary in the church of Rome; Ignatius, a bishop of Syria; Polycarp, a bishop in Smyrna who was eventually martyred; and several anonymous authors. Their writings collected here span approximately AD 70-155 and reveal ways the early Christians understood and applied the teachings of the original apostles.
