Also, this writer excluded
-
these books that are in our bible.
-
The Letter to the Hebrews, one letter of John,
-
he rejects the Shepherd of Hermas,
-
which was a book that we include in
-
a groupings of writing we call the Apostolic Fathers.
-
It was written in the second century sometime
-
by a guy in Rome named Hermas,
-
and it's called The Shepherd.
-
And he excludes other books he calls gnostic books.
-
We'll talk later in the semester about
-
what does gnostic mean at this time.
