Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Apostolic Fathers, Vol. 1: The Epistles of Ss; Clement of Rome and Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas
Three. The next will comprise the remainder. How far we may accept the genuineness of the Epistles, their claim to be the work of the writers whose names they bear, will be discussed in the Introduction to each as it comes. That they all belong to the period we have named, let the authors be whom they may, is an indisputable fact. The translation which is offered to the reader is that of Archbishop Wake, with the exception of some portions of the Epistles of Clement. That exception may as well be explained here instead of in the Introduction to St Clement.
