About This Item
Penguin, 1968. HARDCOVER . 237 p. (Orig. gilt. black cloth, bit spotted, name endpaper, edges pages start browning. Pictorial dust jacket, GOOD ) VERY RARE HARDCOVER FIRST EDITION. The writings in this volume cast a glimmer of light upon the emerging traditions and organization of the infant church, during an otherwise little-known period of its development. A selection of letters and small-scale theological treatises from a group known as the Apostolic Fathers, several of whom were probably disciples of the Apostles, they provide a first-hand account of the early Church and outline a form of early Christianity still drawing on the theology and traditions of its parent religion, Judaism. Included here are the first Epistle of Bishop Clement of Rome, an impassioned plea for harmony; The Epistle of Polycarp; The Epistle of Barnabas; The Didache; and the Seven Epistles written by Ignatius of Antiochamong them his moving appeal to the Romans that they grant him a martyr's death.For years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
