The Shepherd Of Hermas Vol I (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781019450178)

The Shepherd of Hermas is one of the most important works of early Christian literature, written in the 2nd century AD. Part allegory, part moral instruction, part apocalyptic prophecy, it offers a unique perspective on the challenges facing the nascent Christian community. This first volume, expertly translated and annotated by C. Taylor, covers the first three of Hermas' visions, which deal with issues of righteousness, repentance, and the nature of sin.
