The Apostolic Fathers by Michael W. Holmes

Greek Texts and English Translations

An authoritative edition of early Christian writings commonly grouped as the Apostolic Fathers, presenting Greek (and occasionally Latin) texts with facing English translations, concise introductions, and explanatory notes. It gathers works such as 1–2 Clement, the letters of Ignatius, the Letter of Polycarp, the Martyrdom of Polycarp, the Didache, the Epistle of Barnabas, the Shepherd of Hermas, and the Epistle to Diognetus, along with select fragments, and situates them within their historical, theological, and literary contexts while providing a reliable text, up-to-date scholarship, and a helpful textual apparatus.
