After the New Testament: The Writings of the Apostolic Fathers by Bart D. Ehrman
4.0
Ehrman remains one of my favorite synthesizers of early Christian writing. His in-depth analysis of the scriptural canon and the Gnostic gospels was by my side constantly in university while studying the origins of the faith.
I really enjoyed this series of lectures tying in the apostolic fathers. While it covers lots of ground I knew before, my focus was always much more in the proto-orthodoxy movement and the early division of the church, so this did expound some areas more fully. It also served as a great refresher on some concepts that I’d forgotten. Appreciated and valued for Ehrman’s even-handed scholarship.
