Staniforth, Maxwell (Trans)
Early Christian writings : the Apostolic Fathers - Revised - London Penguin Books 1987 - 199 pages ; 20 cm - Penguin classics .
Includes a cartographical image. Sophie Laws Collection"
Includes bibliographical references. The writings in this volume are a selection from a group known as the Apostolic Fathers, so-called because several of the authors were most likely disciples of the Apostles themselves. Like much of the New Testament, their writings take the form of letters, and for the most part deal with practical problems of the life of the early Church, as it struggled in the face of persecution to establish itself in the Roman world. They give us a picture of Christianity still drawing on the theology and traditions of its parent religion, Judaism.
