Von Harnack’s landmark ‘farewell gift’ to students of 1 Clement.
Das Schreiben der romischen Kirche an die korinthische aus der Zeit Domitians, Harnack’s ‘farewell gift’ on 1 Clement to his students, was formative for several decades after its publication, and remains an influential work even in contemporary discussions of this ancient letter. Harnack contends that 1 Clement is the most important witness to early Christianity, and that a close study of this work will equip the reader better to understand its later developments. Now translated into English for the first time, it is presented alongside four influential essays pertaining to 1 Clement that Harnack wrote throughout his career, as well as a historical introduction and assessment of Harnack’s work by Larry Welborn.
Adolf von Harnack (1851-1930) was a world-renowned professor of church history at the Universities of Leipzig, Giessen, Marburg, and Berlin. His works History of Dogma (1895-1900), What Is Christianity? (1901), and New Testament Studies (1908-12) have left their mark on studies of both church history and the New Testament. Jacob N. Cerone is a doctoral candidate at the University of Erlangen-Nuremburg. He is the editor of Jorg Frey’s Qumran, Early Judaism, and New Testament Interpretation (2019) and the Apostolic Fathers Greek Reader: The Complete Edition (2019) and is a coeditor of The Pericope of the Adulteress in Contemporary Research (2016).

"Many of Harnack's analyses and insights into 1 Clement retain their value in today's marketplace of historical inquiry. Cerone's adept translation has done a great service to Anglophone scholarship, by converting this wealth into usable currency. Critical readers will discover a worthy return on investment." Paul Hartog, Professor of Theology, Faith Baptist Theological Seminary "Jacob Cerone's edition of Adolf von Harnack's seminal study of 1 Clement is an outstanding premiere to what promises to be an impressive series, Classic Studies on the Apostolic Fathers. From the characteristically erudite introduction to Harnack's essay by Prof. Larry Welborn, to the smooth translation of Harnack's influential 'farewell gift' to his church history students, to the four still-valuable articles on 1 Clement by Harnack appended to the essay, this volume shines with insight. For anyone interested in 1 Clement - which should be any student of early Christianity - this is a must-have volume." David J. Downs, author of Alms: Charity, Reward, and Atonement in Early Christianity "This fine little volume provides a clear and lucid rendering of a classic German study not widely known and only rarely used by English readers of 1 Clement. The vibrant contemporary style and careful sensitivity to von Harnack's original emphasis is admirable. Cerone's careful work is much appreciated, and serious students of the Apostolic Fathers do well to have this publication available for their own research." Clayton N. Jefford, Professor of Scripture, Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology
