Clement of Rome and the Didache: A New Translation and Theological Commentary
It's hard to exaggerate the importance of these documents. They show us the Church as it was while the Apostles were still at work in the world. It's a eucharistic Church, hierarchical, priestly, sacrificial, liturgical, Catholic. It's a Church where Catholics today should feel at home. Kenneth Howell brings it to us in living color. --Mike AquilinaAn eminent scholar now give us a fresh and lively translation of two of the Church's basic documents. In Dr. Howell's translation of St. Clement's letter we read a about vigorous exercise of papal magisterium in the first century to end schism in the church of Corinth. His translation of the Didache makes it read like a modern church bulletin, of which it is the very first. --Rev. Ray Ryland
