Everything to Know About the Apostolic Fathers | Documentary

In Church History, there have been numerous Church Fathers (ancience and influencial theologians and writers of early Christianity). Some of the most significant to history are the Apostolic Fathers. These Fathers include Clement of Rome (Pope Clement I), Ignatius of Antioch, and Polycarp of Smyrna. In this video, we'll go over some of their most significant contributions to Christianity.

Excerpt:
One of the earliest Christian texts from the era immediately following the Apostles is the Didache (did-uh-KAY), a Greek term which means """"teaching"""" The translation of its longer and earlier title is """"The Teaching of the Lord Through the Apostles to the Nations.""""

This and the documentary on church history (both parts) are extremely well made, interesting and informative. Thank you for all the hard work that went into these documentaries! As a Christian, I love these topics.

So there was an advertisement for "Liquid Death", the water company, where they showed a witch conducting some sort of spell over the water in big barrels. I've never bought it again. Seeing this first example is so validating that my instinct as a freshly baptized baby Christian is pretty good. I used to be a "witch." I am so blessed to have found my way.

Very well laid out.. thank you for posting

Chapter 2 verse 2 of the Didache speaks against abortion and the murder of children .

Lord's Supper on earth commanded by Jesus - Luke 22:19 is the precursor of Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven-Revelation 19:6-9 Blessed are those invited. These are the true Words of God.

This is a great review for a few of the Patristic Fathers (not all are cited herein). The significant redundancy from one segment to the next could be reduced to give more time for those not reviewed. Interesting are the continuing points about church unity, identity of Christ, and Christian morals only skims the surface of each of these Father's writings. Those of the post apostolic age each spoke of many faithful opportunities beyond the witness of this video.

Hey just want to say keep up the good work here. Even as a reformed Christian i admire the work that you have put out over here especially considering the ignorance of many Christians with our own history

Fasting from the Eastern Orthodox church: We fast on Wednesday and Friday because Wednesday was Jesus betrayal by Judas. Fridays fast is the day HE was crucified. Lord have mercy if I'm incorrect. God bless you all.

Some of this video repeats itself especially about St Ignatius h zPolycarp. Great video lots of good info thank you.

[meliodasv.f.]

Thank you... to whomever wrote it down for us

Did you mean to say Antioch was conquered by the Greeks in the 4th Century BC instead of 4th Century AD? Please clarify.

The Christian Church had Readers, subdeacons, deacons, Priests, and Bishops by A.D 90, it is clearly seen in St. Ignatius of Antioch’s writings. The idea that “heirarchy” was developed later by Constantine or in 300’s is bolognia.

very interesting story of the church fathers

Excellent video!! The visuals were excellent (J. Warner Wallace and William Lane Craig would approve!). But: lose the music, or turn it WAY down: my 65 y/o hearing had a difficult time listening to the great narrative/narrator vs the background music: probably on the same frequency (4000 Hz), so learning from this most excellent video was difficult! Otherwise, you get a thumbs up and a subscribe from me! Great work! RnMT

Great video. Would love to use for RCIA. But there are duplications and typos “Poper Doctrine”. Seems like you need some review and final edits :)

In and by the Cross we are delivered from ourselves; not only from our sins, but from ourselves; and being delivered from ourselves we are delivered into the Lord Jesus Christ, and King Jesus Christ becomes far more than we. It is a painful process, but it is a blessed issue.

Excellent! There is a duplication of the Polycarp part of the video and Papias is missing.
