Book Review: Ancient Christian Writers
Summary: 3 Stars
While this book has the basic information it is pretty simplistic in its presentation. I struggled with the Fragments of Papias. as an example. The book gave no indication of how it was presenting these fragments, leaving me to decipher the layout of the presentation. Still good to have this on your shelve as a resource. There are better books that provide analysis of these writings I suspect.

Summary of 06. The Didache: The Epistle of Barnabas, The Epistles and the Martyrdom of St. Polycarp, The Fragments of Papias, The Epistle to Diognetus (Ancient Christian Writers)
The Didache or The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, probably written before the end of the first century, purports to be an instruction based on sayings of the Lord and given by the Twelve Apostles to pagans who wished to become Christians.The Epistle of Barnabas is a homily on the mistaken Judaistic conception of the Old Testament.
The Epistles consist of a covering note and a letter, which is an exhortation to the Philippians on Christian life in general. The Martyrdom of St. Polycarp is the story of this bishop of Smyrna's death at the hand of the Roman authorities in Asia for the defense of the Christian faith.
The Fragments of Papias. Papias, bishop of Hierapolis in Asia Minor, was the author of five books, entitled Exegesis of the Lord?s Gospel.
The Epistle to Diognetus is an apology for Christianity, presented by an unknown writer to a pagan of high social or political rank.
