Second Clement: An Introductory Commentary (Apostolic Fathers Commentary)

The document called Second Clement was not a letter nor was it written by Clement. It originated as an address to a congregation and is preserved among the group of writings known as the Apostolic Fathers. Unlike First Clement it is one of the least known of these writings yet preserves a fascinating window into the life of early believers. Its overall message is that Christians should render a payback to God for his grace shown to them in Christ. Second Clement offers a fascinating window into the life of the early church.
