Buy The Shepherd of Hermas and A Women's Place: House Churches In Earliest Christianity together!
Extremely popular in its time, The Shepherd of Hermas is a second-century work often used for instruction of catechumens, and in fact, is widely regarded as scripture. In it Hermas, a rich freed slave whose wealth was not always lawfully obtained, undergoes and relates several visions (including one from an angel disguised as a shepherd), repents, and offers advice on Christian teaching and behavior.
Comprehensive and careful, Carolyn Osiek's is the only full-length commentary on "The Shepherd" in English. Hermas's revelations afford us glimpses of religious imagination, social world, and moral ideals among early second-century Romans.
The Shepherd of Hermas by Carolyn Osiek was published by Augsburg Fortress Publishers in July 1999 and is our 26234th best seller. The ISBN for The Shepherd of Hermas is 9780800660635.
