The Shepherd of Hermas

Good, but it feels like a second generation walk with God
Rumor has it that at one time this collection was considered for Scripture, but after one reading you can tell that the feeling of it feels like a generation of being with Jesus first hand has passed. Similar writings to Scripture, but it feels like its been rewarmed a bit. Still, the emphasis on certain virtues and vices is illuminating and inspiring.

For History's Sake, You Might Want to Look At It
Not sure what to think about it, but in some ways it seems fuzzy. Not sure always what the point is, but it seems like interesting literature. As for the authenticity and juxtaposition compared to the Bible, I'm really uncertain. Might be worth taking a look.

Influential Christian Text Not in Scriptural Canon
I've heard this work was very well liked by early Christians and just escaped being included in the canons of scripture. I'm glad it escaped. While it has much to say about the "mystical" life it is, in my opinion, filled with overwrought allegory. It's worth reading for its historical importance, but I doubt it has much spiritual relevance for modern Christians.

Disappointed that it didn't have page numbers, and no introduction on the historicity of the book.

The Shepherd of Hermas
I bought the book because I was interested why it was not accepted into the Biblical Canon. So it was an interesting read.

Provides a good text for one of the early writings of the church...
Provides a good text for one of the early writings of the church that did not quite make it into the canon.
