VOLUME TWO: The Apostolic Fathers
This is a beautiful, Oversized 8.5 X 11 Trade paper Collectors Edition Book. The Apostolic Fathers included in this volume (also called the Ante-Nicene Fathers), covers the Early Christian writings from the beginning of Christianity until the promulgation of the Nicene Creed at the First Council of Nicaea, which was convened in Bithynia by the Roman Emperor Constantine I in AD 325. As such, writings contained in this volume of The Researchers Library of Ancient Texts (Volume Two—The Apostolic Fathers: Includes Clement, Athenagoras, Mathetes, Polycarp, Ignatius, Barnabas, Papias, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus), provides literature that follows the chronology of New Testament texts, which frequently are used or assigned as supplemental works within academic settings to help students and scholars discover or better understand cultural and historical context of the early Christian Church as well as valuable insights into what many ancient Jews and early Christians believed when, “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets” (Heb. 1:1).
The Researchers Library of Ancient Texts - Volume 2 is thus intended as a supplemental resource for assisting serious researchers and students in the study of the Bible and the early Church age. Contained in Volume 2: The works of Clement, Athenagoras, Mathetes, Polycarp, Ignatius, Barnabas, Papias, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus.
