The Shepherd of Hermas is a Christian literary work of the 2nd century, considered a valuable book by many Christians, and considered canonical scripture by some of the early Church fathers such as Irenaeus. The Shepherd had great authority in the 2nd and 3rd centuries, and along with the Apocrypha, it was bound with New Testament in the Codex Sinaiticus. It was listed between the Acts of the Apostles and the Acts of Paul in the stichometrical list of the Codex Claromontanus. It’s believed the shepherd is one of the meanings that was probably attached to some figurines of the Good Shepherd as well as a symbol for Christ. The work comprises five visions, twelve mandates, and ten parables. It relies on allegory and pays special attention to the Church, calling the faithful to repent of the sins that have harmed it. The book was originally written in Greek and translated into Latin in Rome, and only the Latin version has been preserved in full; of the Greek, the last fifth or so is missing.

If you are a Bible reader it may it help you to understand how the Bible dialogues with man and the thought pattern you need when reading the Bible. It is a dialog between angles and man explaining visions and dreams. Like the book of Revelations when the angel would explain to the Apostle John what he was seeing in his visions.Product details

Good price
Well put book on the Shepard, it really does open ones eyes in conjunction with other Bible stories.
A very good read
I've heard this work was very well liked by early Christians and just escaped being included in the canons of scripture. I'm glad it escaped. While it has much to say about the "mystical" life it is, in my opinion, filled with overwrought allegory. It's worth reading for its historical importance, but I doubt it has much spiritual relevance for modern Christians.
Rumor has it that at one time this collection was considered for Scripture, but after one reading you can tell that the feeling of it feels like a generation of being with Jesus first hand has passed. Similar writings to Scripture, but it feels like its been rewarmed a bit. Still, the emphasis on certain virtues and vices is illuminating and inspiring.
This is by far one of the best products that ive purchased on in a long time!!! highly suggest it!!
Not sure what to think about it, but in some ways it seems fuzzy. Not sure always what the point is, but it seems like interesting literature. As for the authenticity and juxtaposition compared to the Bible, I'm really uncertain. Might be worth taking a look.
Formatting is good. Not impressed with the work itself, but if you know you want this historical work of the early church, I think you'll be satisfied with the kindle version.
