Ep. 7 - Shepherd of Hermas: Heavenly Visions & Earthly Morals
The Shepherd of Hermas is the strangest text from the Church's earliest period. It's at once a conversion story and a first-person account of heavenly visions. It's a poem in prose and a guidebook for morals. It exercised a powerful influence in the early centuries of Christianity, especially on the practice of the sacrament of penance.
