1 Clement
The First Epistle of Clement is a letter addressed to the Christians in the diocese of Corinth. The epistle is dated customarily to the end of the reign of emperor Domitian (about 96 AD) although other traditions hold a date before 69 AD. It ranks with Didache and the Liturgy of St James and the Epistle of Barnabas as one of the earliest, if not the earliest, of extant Christian documents outside the canonical New Testament. restoring peace and unity to the church in Corinth after a rebellion caused by some individuals who deposed the legitimate elders. The letter, written by Clement of Rome, emphasizes the importance of apostolic succession, urging the Corinthians to respect and reinstate the appointed leaders. It also serves as an early affirmation of the hierarchical structure of the Church, with an emphasis on humility, harmony, and order, and a clear example to imitate of the Roman church's early authority over other churches near its jurisdiction.
