Publisher's Synopsis
The Witness of Hermas to the Four Gospels is a book written by Charles Taylor in 1898. The book explores the connection between the early Christian text, The Shepherd of Hermas, and the four canonical gospels of the New Testament. The Shepherd of Hermas is a collection of visions and teachings that were widely read and respected in the early Christian church. In this book, Taylor argues that The Shepherd of Hermas contains references and allusions to the four gospels, suggesting that they were already well established and influential in the early Christian community. He examines the similarities and differences between the teachings of Hermas and the gospels, and considers the implications of these connections for our understanding of the development of Christian doctrine. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the early church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
