1 Clement is one of two letters written to the church in Corinth attributed to Pope Clement of Rome. 1 Clement is believed by many scholars to be one of the rare early Christian works to have actually been written by the attributed author, Pope Clement himself. This alone makes it a rarity among early Christian texts.
1 Clement is focused on a dispute in the Church at Corinth about the removal of several church leaders, a removal that Pope Clement objected to.
1 Clement was well-regarded as an important Christian text. It was one of the earliest written works that like the Didache, unfortunately failed to make it into the New Testament Bible.
Year: 80-140 AD
