Ep. 3: The First Epistle of Clement
Fathers of the Faith
The First Epistle of Clement to the Christians gathered in Corinth is one of the earliest, if not the earliest, non-canonical Christian writing. Some date it to before 70AD based on Clement's reference to the Temple worship in the present tense. Most argue he wrote this letter at the end of the 1st or beginning of the 2nd century. He writes on similar topics to that of St. Paul's first epistle to the Corinthians, likely in reference to a different set of circumstances. The Second Epistle of Clement is largely considered to be written by someone else. We will include it as a recording at a later date.
