6/10 · 60. Shepherd of Hermas Composed in second-century Rome, the Shepherd of Hermas explores repentance through visions, commands and symbolic stories. A tower under construction becomes an image of the church, while other scenes examine wealth, honesty and the possibility of changing one’s life. Spirit Nation includes Lightfoot’s translation, organized as five Visions, twelve Mandates and ten Parables. These are the parts of one substantial early Christian work. https://t.co/ehSGYOc8jy
