Apostolic Fathers: Volume II. Epistle of Barnabas. Papias and Quadratus. Epistle to Diognetus. The Shepherd of Hermas (Loeb Classical Library No. 25N)
Ehrman's new Loeb Library edition ofThe Apostolic Fathers(a title unknown before the 17th century) presents a scholarly edition, with a lively translation, of Christian writings that circulated before the Biblical canon was established. (Tom D'EvelynChristian Science Monitor2003-12-23)Bart Ehrman's new text and translation of theApostolic Fathers in the Loeb series is an excellent example of solid scholarship presented in an accessible and engaging manner…Ehrman's general introduction contains a helpful bibliography, and is complemented by lively and accessible introductions to each individual text…This is a fine introduction to some important texts, and a worthy successor to the edition of Kirsopp Lake that it now supersedes.
