The Apostolic Fathers

The Apostolic Fathers

The Apostolic Fathers are the first generation of Christians after the New Testament, and derive their name from the crucial link they play between the apostles who discipled them in the faith and the patristic era they handed that faith onto.  We invite you to join us as we explore these 1st and early 2nd century texts, and hear what they still have to teach the church today.

Personal Classroom

The Apostolic Fathers provides an online student portal that is clean and easy to use.  The sidebar helps you navigate between episodes, and a detailed outline supports the learning experience.  As you watch, the video will cue you in to the relevant portion of the outline; and as you scroll, the video will float in the corner so you can keep your eye on both at the same time.  Then, when you’re ready to mark an episode complete, you’ll see your progress bar at the top grow to match.

Close Commentary

This course is an extension of our overview of the Apostolic Fathers presented in our 4 semester Core Curriculum.  Students will particularly benefit in this course by taking the core program first, but are welcome to begin their St. Paul’s journey here.

As you enter the course, you’ll find the same St. Paul’s experience you know and love, with a few elements stripped down for a more streamlined experience.  Instead of a cohort model with exams and webinars, the Apostolic Fathers is a close commentary on the text designed for individual use.  With our classic St. Paul’s video commentary and accompanying outline, you’ll be able to walk through each of these key writings paragraph-by-paragraph at your own pace.  We also provide a guide for which edition to purchase, or alternatively, where you can go to read the full texts online for free.  It’s all on your schedule, and you’ll never lose access, so you can return again and again over the years.
