The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians

Clement of Rome (c. 35-99 AD)

Written from Rome to the church at Corinth around 96 AD, this letter addresses a crisis in which the congregation had deposed its elders without cause. Clement grounds his appeal for order and humility in the examples of Old Testament saints, the pattern of creation, and the humility of Christ, making it one of the most important early church documents outside the New Testament.
