1687 Greek & Latin BIBLE Epistles of Pope Clement I Early Church at Corinth

“Do we then think it to be a great and marvelous thing, if the Creator of the universe shall bring about the resurrection of them that have served Him with holiness in the assurance of a good faith, seeing that He showeth to us even by a bird the magnificence of His promise?” 

– Clement I, Epistles

Clement I, considered the first Apostolic Father of the Catholic Church, was pope during the first century AD and known for his epistles to the church at Corinth. This letter is perhaps the earliest Christian document written after the New Testament.

Much like the letter Saint Paul wrote to the Corinthians, Clement I called for immediate repentance and an obedience to church authority. It offers an insight to what the early Christian church valued and how it was affected by the Roman Church. This letter is also one of the earliest works to make a clear distinguishing between bishops, presbyters, and deacons.

This 1687 printing is paired with the second epistle of Clement, however, this sermon was not written by Clement. Scholars believe that this homily was not written until the second century. Printed in Greek and Latin on parallel pages.
