{"product_id":"2940013238565","title":"The Shepherd of Hermas - Enhanced","description":"This specially translated, multiple volume, edition of The Shepard of Hermas comes complete with a Touch-or-Click Table of Contents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Shepherd of Hermas (sometimes just called The Shepherd) is a Christian literary work of the 1st or 2nd century, considered a valuable book by many Christians, and considered canonical scripture by some of the early Church fathers such as Irenaeus. The Shepherd had great authority in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. Along with the Apocrypha, it was bound with New Testament in the Codex Sinaiticus, and it was listed between the Acts of the Apostles and the Acts of Paul in the stichometrical list of the Codex Claromontanus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work comprises five visions, twelve mandates, and ten parables. It relies on allegory and pays special attention to the Church, calling the faithful to repent of the sins that have harmed it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book was originally written in Rome, in the Greek language, but a Latin translation was made very shortly afterwards. Only the Latin version has been preserved in full; of the Greek, the last fifth or so is missing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe shepherd is one of the meanings that was probably attached to some figurines of the Good Shepherd as well as a symbol for Christ, or a traditional pagan kriophoros.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can purchase other religious works directly from Wyatt North Enjoy.","brand":"Bieber Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082351689968,"sku":"2940013238565","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013238565_p0.jpg?v=1763578579","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013238565","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
