Das Schreiben der römischen Kirche an die korinthische aus der Zeit
Domitians, Harnack's 'farewell gift' on 1 Clement
to his students, was formative for several decades after its publication, and
remains an influential work even in contemporary discussions of this ancient
letter. Harnack contends that 1 Clement is the most important witness to early
Christianity, and that a close study of this work will equip the reader better
to understand its later developments. Now translated into English for the first
time, it is presented alongside four influential essays pertaining to 1 Clement
that Harnack wrote throughout his career, as well as a historical introduction
and assessment of Harnack's work by Larry Welborn.
