This is the parallel English / Greek text of the Apostolic fathers of the church. Included are Clement's two epistles (one thought to be genuine and the other spurious), Ignatius' seven letters, Polycarp's letter, the Didache, the Epistle of Barnabas, the Martyrdom of Polycarp, and the Epistle of Mathetes to Diognetus. Each Greek words is either linked to Strong's dictionary or to a concise Greek-English dictionary provided as an appendix.
These writings are of special interest since the authors were disciples of the apostles. Their letters were widely circulated throughout the Christian world, and although the letters were ultimately not included in the Bible, they give a fascinating window into the early Christian world.
