No. 1 of Ancient Christian Writers: The Works of the Fathers in Translation
“Clement and Ignatius belong to that group of ancient Christian writers known as the Apostolic Fathers—a term of comparatively recent origin and meant to signify that these writers had, or were supposed to have had, some personal contact with the Apostles. [...]It is important for the modern Christian reader to realize that Clement, representing the Occident, and Ignatius, representing the Orient, are in agreement regarding the form of Christianity they profess. The Christian Church shows the same face, whether seen through the eyes of Clement, or those of Ignatius. Both are convinced, too, that this form corresponds to the Apostolic tradition, which, in their minds, is in complete harmony with Scripture.”
