The Bible, as we hold it today, is esteemed by many religious
institutions and especially Conservative Christians to be the
inspired, inerrant Word of God. This doctrinal position affirms
that the Bible is unlike all other books or collections of works in
that it is free of error due to having been "given by inspiration
of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God
may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Tim.
3:16, 17). While no other text can claim this same unique
authority, the Apostolic Fathers included in this volume (also
called the Ante-Nicene Fathers), covers the Early Christian
writings from the beginning of Christianity until the promulgation
of the Nicene Creed at the First Council of Nicaea, which was
convened in Bithynia by the Roman Emperor Constantine I in AD 325.
As such, writings contained in this volume of The Researchers
Library of Ancient Texts (Volume Two: The Apostolic Fathers:
Includes Clement, Anthenagorus, Mathetes, Polycarp, Ignatius,
Barnabas, Papias, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus), provides literature
that follows the chronology of New Testament texts, which
frequently are used or assigned as supplemental works within
academic settings to help students and scholars discover or better
understand cultural and historical context of the early Christian
Church. These ancient texts provide commentators valuable insight
into what many ancient Jews and early Christians believed when,
"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past
unto the fathers by the prophets" (Heb. 1:1). The Researchers
Library of Ancient Texts is therefore intended to be a supplemental
resource for assisting serious researchers and students in the
study of the Bible and the early Church age. Contained in this
volume: The works of Clement, Anthenagorus, Mathetes, Polycarp,
Ignatius, Barnabas, Papias, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus.
