"The anonymous early church order that became known as the Apostolic Tradition and conventionally attributed to Hippolytus of Rome has generated enormous scholarly discussion since its discovery in the nineteenth century. Surprisingly, however, there has never before been a comprehensive commentary on it such as there is for other patristic works. We have here attempted to remedy this defect, and at the same time we have offered the first full synoptic presentation in English of the various witnesses to its text. We have also taken the opportunity to develop our argument that it is neither the work of Hippolytus nor of any other individual. Instead, we believe that it is a composite document made up of a number of layers and strands of diverse provenance and compiled over a period of time, and therefore not representing the practice of any one Christian community." from the Preface This Hermeneia volume provides an important contribution to New Testament research as well as the study of the patristic era.

This reconstruction of the anonymous and untitled ancient church order that was formerly imagined to have been the Apostolic Tradition of Hippolytus is distinctive from other modern editions of it in two ways. First, it draws on an early Ethiopic translation of the missing original Greek text that was only published in full as recently as 2011 by Alessandro Bausi and, except where there is a surviving passage in Greek, employs it exclusively to fill in the gaps in the incomplete early Latin version, rather than the much later Coptic, Arabic, and Ethiopic translations that had to be used prior to that. This has resulted in some significantly different readings. Secondly, it displays what are judged to have been successive chronological layers within the church order in a more visual manner by the use of distinctive typefaces for each of these strata from the second century to the early part of the fourth century, and it accompanies the translation with explanatory notes designed to help the newcomer understand better the evolution of the text

St Irenaeus is the most important theologian of the second century, laying the foundation for all future Christian thinkers. Irenaeus tells us that he had known Polycarp, who had himself known the apostles and been appointed by them as the bishop of the church of Smyrna. This direct contact with the immediate successors of the apostles was of importance for Irenaeus in his later defense of Christian practice and teaching. In this work Against the Heresies, he was the first to utilize the full range of apostolic writings in his controversy with the Gnostics and others. Uniting, for the first time, the whole history of God's activity in one all-encompassing divine economy, Irenaeus demonstrates that there is but one God, who has made Himself known through His one Son, Jesus Christ, by the one Holy Spirit, to the one human race, bringing His creatures made from mud into the intimacy of communion with Himself.
