Wisdom from the First Christians: Reconstruction of the Original Faith

"Wisdom from the First Christians" takes you on a journey through time, as we go back to the 1st century to take a look into the minds of the first Christians, specifically, the men who were personally discipled by the Apostles. Through their words we can observe what these first Christians believed, what they were taught and how they lived. Their insight offers a picture of the original form of Christianity and is a guide to help us interpret the scriptures in the way they were intended. These men did not only read the holy scriptures, but were there to hear the Apostles preach, interact with them and ask questions, giving them deep understanding of the doctrine of Christ. Some of these men knew Jesus and some are commended in the bible, giving their words much authority! The letters & books of these first Christians have been highly esteemed throughout the centuries and continue to offer genuine insight & inspiration for Christians today.

Includes:

* The Epistle of Barnabas, 1st and 2nd Clement, 5 letters of Ignatius, The Shepherd of Hermas Trilogy, Polycarp to the Ephesians, and two long lost epistles of the Apostle Paul, one that is referred to in Colossians 4:16.

* An introduction for each book, as well as the history of how they have been regarded & used by the churches through the centuries.

* A large section of quotes from the early church, chronologically arranged by topic, starting with the men who were there in the first century, followed by those who remained faithful on that topic for several centuries thereafter.

May the words of the First Christians be a ray of sunshine, in an otherwise cloudy world.
