The Apostolic Fathers: Discovering the Lives and Writings of Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch

The video discusses three early Christian leaders, Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, and Polycarp. Clement of Rome was thought to be mentioned in Philippians by the Apostle Paul and was discipled by Paul and the Apostle John and ordained by the Apostle Peter. His writings talked about church authority, the authority of the overseer, and the presbyters. Ignatius of Antioch was a disciple of the Apostle John and appointed bishop or overseer. Tradition has it that Ignatius was one of the children that Jesus took into his arms and blessed. The video also briefly discusses Constantine the Great and the heresies popping up, primarily Gnosticism.
