Select Writings of the Apostolic Fathers - Note-Taker's Edition: Sts. Clement, Ignatius, and Polycarp

The Apostolic Fathers, or the first generation of Christian Fathers after the Apostles, enjoyed the unparalleled privilege and distinction of being direct disciples of the Apostles of Christ. They, like their teachers, held steadfastly to sound doctrine, lived thoroughly Christian lives in word, thought, and deed, and possessed especially deep love for Christ and His flock and a resulting sincere concern for the conduct of the believers and the proper administration of the Church - qualities clearly perceptible in even a cursory reading of their writings. Of the writings of the Apostolic Fathers, those penned by Sts. Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, and Polycarp of Smyrna, which are represented in this humble work for the purpose of facilitating more careful and convenient engagement by readers of these important texts, provide perhaps the most touching and approachable non-scriptural window into the life of the earliest period of Christianity, and within it, three of the most renowned Fathers in the history of the Church.
