Abstract
Abstract Ancient church orders constitute one of the more fascinating genres of early Christian literature, purporting to offer authoritative ‘apostolic’ prescriptions on matters of moral conduct, liturgical practice, and ecclesiastical organization and discipline. What these pseudo-apostolic texts have to say about the apostolic age itself may be of little interest, but they are potentially valuable sources of evidence for the thought and practices of the periods in which they were composed. Although they were apparently originally written in Greek, in some cases all that has survived are translations into other languages.
