Early Christian Fathers : Volume 1

---

Outline: This volume provides an introduction to early Christian literature and its setting, with basic writings of the first two centuries rendered by fresh, new translations into clear, readable English. The selections include, first, one of the earliest Christian documents the Church possesses, Clement's First Letter, written about A.D. 96. Following are The Letters of Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch; The Letter of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, to the Philippians; The Martyrdom of Polycarp, as Tod in the Letter of the Church of Smyrna to the Church of Philomelium; The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, Commonly Called the Didache; An Anonymous Sermon, Commonly Called Clement's Second Letter; The So-Called Letter to Diognetus; The First Apology of Justin, the Martyr; A Plea Regarding Christians by Athenagoras, the Philosopher; and Selections from the Work Against Heresies by Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons. The usefulness of this volume is heightened by the thorough yet concise introductions to the selections, the new and clarifying notes which add greatly to the understanding of the writings, and the exceptionally rich annotated bibliographies for the use of the serious scholar. Roland H. Bainton says of this volume, "The selection is discriminating, the introductions state the essentials, the bibliographies guide the inquiring, while the footnotes elucidate the obscure." Early Christian Fathers offers the student, minister, or interested layman a vivid picture of the Early Chistian Church through its literature, at the same time preserving in a new and completely documented form these important classics of the Church.
