The name "Apostolic Fathers" was first applied in 1672 to a group
of five writers who were taken either to have been in touch
directly with some of the original Twelve Apostles or, in the next
generation, to reflect the teaching of their immediate successors:
Clement of Rome (fourth in the list of Popes), Ignatius (second
bishop of Antioch), Polycarp of Smyrna (recorded as a disciple of
the evangelst John), "Barnabas" (reputedly St. Paul's co-worker),
and a Hermas, associated, though wrongly, with Hermas of Romans
16.14. With the later addition of Papias of Hierapolis and the
unknown writer of the Epistle to Diognetus, the number of the
Apostolic Fathers rose to seven; a final addition to the group was
the Didache, a brief, early manual on morals and Church practice.
Anything but homogenous in origin, form, and purpose, and ranging
widely in all of these respects, these writings are of prime
importance for the understanding of the Church around the year 100
A.D. Unless it be the Apostles' Creed itself, nothing precedes them
in the development of Patrology.
