The Apostolic Fathers offers introductions to the works comprising this early Christian corpus, fully equipped with discussion of important topics including theological profiles, intertextuality, intellectual milieus, and anti-Jewish polemics. The foreword by Wilhelm Pratscher and closing chapter by Jörg Ulrich cap off this handling of the Fathers, locating them within the history of scholarship, even while pointing the way for new avenues of study. --From publisher's description.
