The authors of this volume explore the notion of community as reflected upon in the writings of the Apostolic Fathers. Various aspects are dealt with, including concerns for organising the community, developing a sacramental and liturgical praxis, constructing identity against outsiders, spreading the Christian message, and building towards a better community. The interplay between ideal and reality in the sources offers some reliable information about day-to-day concerns and concrete situations in Christian communities from the end of the first century up to about 150 CE.

<p>"...The volume constitutes a substantial contribution to the study of early second-century Christianity. Indded, many of the papers collected here will be required reading for specialists in the field. The editors and contributors are to be thanked for producing an immportant volume that addresses many significant issues in early Christian texts that are still too rarely the object of such high level scholarship as we find here." --<b>Maathijs den Dulk, Radboud University Nijmegen</b>, <i>Review of Biblical Literature</i> 10.5.2017</p><p></p>
