The Foundations of Faith series features important writings from the early Christian Church, with modernized language to make these influential works more accessible to today's reader.

Included in Volume 1 are the following works:

• The Didache (The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles)
• The First and Second Epistles of Clement
• The Epistle of Barnabas
• The Odes of Solomon
• The Epistle of Polycarp
• The Martyrdom of Polycarp
• The Epistle of Mathetes to Diognetus
• The Seven Prison Epistles of Ignatius
  • Ignatius to the Ephesians
  • Ignatius to the Magnesians
  • Ignatius to the Trallians
  • Ignatius to the Romans
  • Ignatius to the Philadelphians
  • Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans
  • Ignatius to Polycarp

These writings, often referred to as the New Testament Apocrypha, contain many of the challenges faced by the first few generations of Christians after the Apostles of Jesus, and they reflect the faithfulness of the early Church to the teachings of Jesus and his Apostles. Their stories and insights are invaluable to today's Church, so the hope for this series is that it would provide an entry point for modern Christians to hear from these ancient witnesses and to be built up by them.
