Patristic Sources, Vol. I — The Apostolic Witness A Pronomian Reader
The earliest Christians did not invent a new religion. They carried forward the faith of Israel under the Master Yeshua, holding fast to the Torah, the Prophets, and the testimony of the apostles. The writings gathered in this volume are the headwaters of that witness — the documents nearest in time, language, and conviction to the apostles themselves.
In a single Pronomian translation, here are the seven foundational texts of the post-apostolic age:
· The Letter of Clement to the Corinthians (c. 96) — the earliest surviving Christian letter outside the New Testament, carried from Rome within living memory of Peter and Paul. · The Three Syriac Letters of Ignatius (c. 107–110) — Cureton's short recension to Polycarp, the Ephesians, and the Romans. · The Letter of Polycarp to the Philippians (c. 130–140) — the one surviving epistle of John's disciple. · The Didache (c. 70–110) — the oldest Christian church order, recovered from a single Jerusalem manuscript in 1873. · The Fragments of Hegesippus (c. 165) — the Jewish-Christian historian whose lost Memoirs preserved the witness of the Jerusalem assembly under James the Just. · Jerome, Letter 112 to Augustine (c. 404) — on Torah, the Nazarenes, and the apostolic deposit. · Jerome on the Nazarene Gospel (c. 408–410) — the surviving citations of the Hebrew gospel used by Jewish believers in fourth-century Beroea.
Each work is rendered freshly from the Greek, Syriac, and Latin, with translator's notes inline, a critical apparatus drawn from the manuscript tradition, and a glossary of Hebrew and Greek terms restored where older versions had effaced them. Where prior translations read these documents through later confessional lenses, this edition lets them speak from within their own world — Jewish in idiom, apostolic in confession, three-pillared in foundation: the Law, the Prophets, and the Master.
"Bring no other foundation than that which is laid — the Law and the Prophets and the testimony of our Master."
For pastors, teachers, students, and any reader who wants to hear the post-apostolic generation in its own voice, Patristic Sources, Vol. I is the first volume of the Hegesippus Works — a project to recover the primary sources of the Nazarene tradition and place them, unfiltered, into the hands of the people of God.
