About this title

Synopsis

A landmark study of 1 Clement, translated into English for the first time.

Das Schreiben der römischen Kirche an die korinthische aus der Zeit Domitians, Harnack's 'farewell gift' on 1 Clement to his students, was formative for several decades after its publication, and remains an influential work even in contemporary discussions of this ancient letter. Harnack contends that 1 Clement is the most important witness to early Christianity, and that a close study of this work will equip the reader better to understand its later developments. Now translated into English for the first time, it is presented alongside four influential essays pertaining to 1 Clement that Harnack wrote throughout his career, as well as a historical introduction and assessment of Harnack's work by Larry Welborn.

His works History of Dogma (1895-1900), What Is Christianity? (1901), and New Testament Studies (1908-12) have left their mark on studies of both church history and the New Testament. Jacob N. Cerone is a doctoral candidate at the University of Erlangen-Nuremburg. He is the editor of Jorg Frey's Qumran, Early Judaism, and New Testament Interpretation (2019) and the Apostolic Fathers Greek Reader: The Complete Edition (2019) and is a coeditor of The Pericope of the Adulteress in Contemporary Research (2016).
