The Apostolic Fathers (Moody Classics)

Foreword by Mark Galli

When you begin reading, don't be surprised if you feel yourself entering another world.
If you often look to books for guidance, you're not the first. Contained in this collection are various "bestsellers" to which the early church looked. Dating back to the first and second century, these works include the following:

• 1 Clement: a letter to the church at Corinth
• 2 Clement: an early Christian sermon
• Letters of Ignatius: letters written by a pastor on his way to Rome to be executed
• Letter of Polycarp to the Philippians: a letter to the church at Philippi
• The Martyrdom of Polycarp: the oldest martyr account outside of the New Testament
• Didache: meaning "teaching," a manual of church discipline
• The Pastor of Hermas: an early form of allegorical fiction along the lines of Pilgrim's Progress
