Before creeds and councils, early believers turned to a handful of powerful writings to guide their faith and practice. In this volume, three of the earliest Christian texts outside of the Bible-The Didache, First Clement, and The Shepherd of Hermas-are brought together in accessible form.
The Didache, likely dating from the first century, offers a vivid glimpse into the daily rhythms and ethical teachings of early Christian communities. First Clement, penned by one of the first bishops of Rome and mentioned by the Apostle Paul, addresses division and leadership in the Corinthian church with pastoral urgency. The Shepherd of Hermas, a mystical and instructive work from the second century, uses visions, commandments, and parables to call believers to repentance and spiritual maturity.
These writings, cherished and circulated by the earliest Christians, reveal the heart of a movement growing in faith, unity, and mission. Whether you're a scholar, pastor, or simply curious about the roots of Christianity, this collection opens a window into the lived experience of the early church.
