Men's Patristic Reading Group
PTVM men recently began gathering monthly to read and discuss the Church Fathers (i.e., "Patristics"). Our next meeting will be on the evening of Thursday, March 7, 2024, at 6:30pm, to discuss The First Epistle of St. Clement to the Corinthians. It isn't too late to join us!
If you previously signed up for a copy of the Early Christian Writings that was ordered through the PTVM bookstore, please be sure to pick up your copy. There are also a couple extra copies if anyone else would like to participate. I believe there are also other editions in the PTVM Lending Library. Alternatively, you can read (or listen) to this epistle in a number of places online for free:
New Advent (trans. John Keith, 1896)
CCEL (trans. J.B. Lightfoot, 1869)
CCEL (trans. Roberts & Donaldson, 1885)
LibriVox (audio recording, ed. trans. Roberts & Donaldson, 1885; recording by Sam Stinson, 2008); also available as a YouTube video
Theoria YouTube audiobook (posted 2023, unknown edition; includes introduction)
