THE APOSTOLIC FATHERS Translated by J. B. Lightfoot
This book is a faithful reprint of the text of the Apostolic Fathers published in 1891.
Joseph Barber Lightfoot (1828 – 1889), was an English theologian and Bishop of Durham. Among his many books, his commentaries on the Epistle to the Galatians (1865), Epistle to Philippians (1868) and Epistle to the Colossians (1875) are worthy of mention.
I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of letters from the Church Fathers. There is so much depth in every paragraph, which is why it took me a while to get through it. I wanted to properly absorb their instructions and edification and take proper notes to return to later. I most certainly will be rereading this, and now I'm on the hunt for more collections of the Church Fathers. Highly recommend to anyone interested in learning more of the Christian faith!
I imagine there are better, newer translated collections of early church texts, but I happened to have this and, actually, the weirdness of the text was kind of great.
