Literature of the Second Century e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The information given in these Lectures as to the dates, authorship, and genuineness of the relics of Christian antiquity referred to, has been chiefly gathered from the following authorities:<br><br>Bishop Lightfoot's Apostolic Fathers.<br>Bishop Westcott's Canon of the New Testament.<br>Sanday's Gospels in the Second Century.<br>Smith's Dictionary of Christian Biography: Article Apostolic Fathers.<br>Salmon's Introduction to the New Testament.<br><br>The extracts from early writers have been taken partly from Bishop Lightfoot's translation, and partly from the Ancient and Modern Library of Theological Literature (Griffith, Farran & Co.).
