De: Joseph Lumpkin, Charles Hoole, J.B. Lightfoot

Narrado por: Mel Jackson

This volume contains essays, epistles, letters, and notes from the men who were taught and influenced by the Apostles of Jesus. These first men, who influenced the development of our doctrines and the establishing of the church are called The Apostolic Fathers.

The Apostolic Fathers played a pivotal role in the early development of Christianity, offering insights into the theological, ecclesiastical, and moral challenges faced by the early Christian communities. Through their writings and teachings, figures such as Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp of Smyrna, Justin Martyr, Papias of Hierapolis, and the writers of the Didache contributed to the preservation and spread of apostolic tradition. Their emphasis on unity, apostolic authority, orthodox doctrine, and ethical living remains influential in contemporary Christian thought. Studying the Apostolic Fathers allows us to appreciate the historical roots of Christianity and gain valuable insights into the faith of the early believers.

Horrible sound quality

The author clearly has a theological bias that he is bent on pushing. Right at the end you'll run into it. Before and after the last book.

The sound quality is horrendous and the reader is boring and dry to listen to.

Good content, low quality audio

Although the content is certainly worth familiarizing yourself with, the audio quality seemed relatively low. Sometimes it was difficult to hear what the speaker was actually saying.
