The Witness Of Hermas To The Four Gospels (1898) : Kessinger Publishing : 9781437426113 : 1437426115 : 22 Dec 2008 : ""The Witness of Hermas to the Four Gospels"" is a scholarly work written by Charles Taylor and published in 1898. The book explores the relationship between the early Christian text known as the ""Shepherd of Hermas"" and the four canonical gospels of the New Testament. Taylor argues that Hermas, a second-century Christian author, was familiar with and influenced by the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The book provides a detailed analysis of the similarities and differences between the texts, and examines the ways in which Hermas may have used the gospels to shape his own ideas about Christian theology and ethics. Taylor's work is an important contribution to the field of early Christian studies, and provides valuable insights into the development of Christian thought in the first few centuries after the death of Jesus Christ.This scarce antiquarian book is a
