The Apostolic Fathers: A New Translation - (Brannan Rick)(Paperback)

A fresh, modern translation of key works of the apostolic fathers. The "Apostolic Fathers" wrote what has become some of the most important literature in the early church--letters and epistolary documents, homilies and theological tracts, documents on church order, and apocalyptic literature. In fact, some texts came close to inclusion in the New Testament canon. These translations by Rick Brannan are perfect for use by students, scholars, and everyday Christians interested in these treasures of the early church. Lexham Classics are beautifully typeset new editions of classic works.
