This work had its origin in a resolution passed by the Society of Historical Theology, in Oxford, appointing a small Committee to prepare a volume exhibiting those passages of early Christian writers which indicate, or have been thought to indicate, acquaintance with any of the books of the New Testament. The present volume deals with the writings of the Apostolic Fathers, in which information is scanty, and traces of dependence on the Scriptures of the New Testament are most open to doubt. Contents: Barnabas; Didache; I Clement; Ignatius; Polycarp; Hermas; II Clement; and Tables of Results.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
