Review: "As the earliest extant Christian writings outside the New Testament, the Apostolic Fathers are a primary resource for the study of early Christianity. These writings provide significant and unparalleled insight into the Christian movement during a critical transitional stage in its history. This updated edition of Holmes's 1992 Greek-English diglot edition of the Apostolic Fathers is arguably the best collection of these writings available." "The introductions to each ancient document, the bibliographies, and the textual notes make this volume essential for the serious study of early Christianity. Scholars, research libraries, and students of the Apostolic Fathers will welcome this updated edition."-- From the book jacket.
