The Early Christians

Imagine being able to talk to a Christian leader who had been a personal disciple of one of the apostles! Of course, we cannot do that today—but we can do the next best thing. We can read the writings of men like Ignatius, Clement, and Polycarp, who were personal disciples of the apostles. Their writings give us an authentic glimpse at what Christianity was like when it was still young and largely undefiled.
