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.
