I get it.
As a Protestant-turned-Catholic, I know how easy it is to think, "If it’s not in the Bible, do I really need to care?"
We love our Sola Scriptura, our clear-cut canon, our tidy 66 books.
So when someone brings up an obscure early Christian text like The Shepherd of Hermas, the knee-jerk reaction is to dismiss it as just another historical curiosity—like a dusty relic in a museum, interesting to look at but not relevant to daily life.
But stick with me, because The Shepherd of Hermas is more than an ancient oddity.
It’s a fascinating glimpse into the early Church—one that challenges our modern assumptions about faith, authority, and what it really means to live as a Christian.
