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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded 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 Antioch, among them his moving appeal to the Romans that they grant him a martyr's death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46514193334508,"sku":"9780140444759","price":21.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27335363482237.jpg?v=1748878950","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/early-christian-writings-9780140444759","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
