These ancient writings certainly go hand-in-glove with the New Testament as we know it. These readings dovetail quite nicely with what has become the standard Christian scripture and give a glimpse into a tumultuous time in Christian history-in fact, a time when it was not at all certain that Christianity would survive, let alone win converts all over the globe. Even though they were ultimately not included, they show what was going on in the minds of those early Christians. This book guides the reader through reading 40 different texts written by early Christian leaders, whom this author calls “Fathers.” He calls these extra-biblical texts, and some might have been considered for inclusion in the Bible at the time of its creation.
