The Apostolic Tradition of Hippolytus presents an English translation, with introduction and notes, of one of the most important early Christian church orders. Attributed to the third-century Roman writer Hippolytus, the text describes the worship, ordination, baptism, and discipline of the early Church.
The work offers a remarkable window onto Christian liturgy and community life in the centuries before the Council of Nicaea, and it has profoundly influenced modern liturgical scholarship and reform. This edition’s introduction and notes guide the reader through the text’s complex history. This free EPUB edition is formatted for reading and study on any device.
