Reading the Apostolic Fathers helps you understand:
1. How Ecclesiology was institutionally fleshed out in proximity to the initial spread of the gospel.
2. How much the Reformation was a recovery of earliest Christianity and Teaching.
3. How much Christian witness confidently stood strong against false teachers. (Gnostics, Marcions, hedonists)
4. How the early church knew when to be gentle and when to be tough.
