Excerpt from The Apostolic Fathers, Vol. 1 of 2: With an English Translation; I Clement; II Clement; Ignatius; Polycarp; Didache; Barnabas The name of Apostolic Fathers is so firmly established by usage that it will certainly never be abandoned; but it is not altogether a satisfactory title for the collection of writings to which it is given. It means that the writers in question may be supposed to have had personal knowledge of some of the Apostles, but not actually to have belonged to their number. Thus, for. Instance, Clement and Hermes are reckoned as disciples of St. Paul, and Polycarp as a disciple of St. John. It is not, however, always possible to maintain this view Barnabas, to whom one of these writings is ascribed, was not merely a disciple of the Apostles, but belonged to their actual number, and the Didache claims in its title to belong to the circle of the Twelve. It should also be noted that the title does not represent any ancient tradition: there are no traces of any early collection of Apostolic Fathers, and each of them has a separate literary history.
