Apostolical Fathers a Critical Account of Their Genuine Writings and of Their Doctrines

1874. From the Introduction: This work professes to be a Critical History of Christian Literature and Theology from the death of the Apostles till the period of the Nicene Council. It is an attempt to investigate the authorship of the various works which have come down to us from that era, and to ascertain the influences which led to their production and determined character. It also makes an effort to state exactly what were the theological opinions of each writer. The work is therefore an introduction to the study of the Christian writers, and prepares the way for a full consideration of the mode in which Christian theology was developed.Donaldson, James is the author of 'Apostolical Fathers a Critical Account of Their Genuine Writings and of Their Doctrines' with ISBN 9781417947829 and ISBN 1417947829.
