Discussion Questions

As you compare the issues confronting the Apostolic Fathers and those confronting us today, where do you see similarities?

What are you most looking forward to in your study of the Apostolic Fathers?

If you have a sense of where you might expect change in your own spiritual life while studying the Apostolic Fathers, make a note of it now and come back to it once you have completed the book. You are going to be challenged by the way in which the early church lived out their lives. Begin to pray now that God will give you wisdom about how to practically apply what you learn from the Apostolic Fathers.

The book is divided into eight themes found in the Apostolic Fathers. If you are reading the book for your own benefit, please do not rush

through it. Instead, use it to complement your personal devotion and take the time to engage with the discussion questions at the end of each chapter. If you are using the book for a small group study, be sure that you allow the space for everyone to process and share what they are learning.
