This letter was considered Scripture by some of the early Churchs and is included in one of the oldest codexs of scripture… the Codex Alexandrinus. 1. Stay tuned as we discover Clement of Rome in his writings. 1.)The Faith of the Early Fathers…William Jurgens..Liturgical Press 1970
Clement of Rome was third successor of Peter as Bishop of Rome. The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians was written to the Corinthian Church because they unlawfully overthrew the appointed leadership of their Church. This is the first non Biblical example of the Bishop of Rome lovingly and authoritatively shepherding another Christian Church.
