ClementofRome
Spelunking the most ancient caves of Xianity
There is a real sense of persecution and impending martyrdom in the Apostolic Fathers. Clement even begins his letter by apologizing for being late in writing because of the intense persecution that the Roman church was receiving.Philip said:I really like St Ignatius's writings. His willingness to die for the Lord is inspiring.
MARTYRDOM....now that is not something too many 21st century Christians have on their mind, now is it?
