Information About

Apostolic Tradition




It has been described as of 'incomparable importance as a source of information about church life and Liturgy in the third century'. (G.J. Cuming).It is, by 150 years, the earliest example of a form of service. It has been widely influential on Liturgical scholarship in the twentieth century. Those who read chapter four, if they are at all familiar with the Eucharistic Prayer s of Roman , Anglican or Reformed Churches , will recognise in the order, language, and contents the source of those prayers, as well as of some of the disputes about what a Eucharistic prayer can say.
