	THE SHEPHERD OF HERMAS
		Hermas 7[15]:2 But they that fall into the fire and are burned, these are they that finally rebelled from the living God, and it no more entered into their hearts to repent by reason of the lusts of their wantonness and of the wickednesses which they wrought.
		Hermas 13[21]:3 And whereas thou sawest her seated on a couch, the position is a firm on; for the couch has four feet and standeth firmly; for the world too Is upheld by means of four elements.
		Hermas 1[43]:13 In the next place, it never approacheth an assembly of righteous men; but avoideth them, and cleaveth to the doubtful-minded and empty, and prophesieth to them in corners, and deceiveth them, speaking all things in emptiness to gratify their desires; for they too are empty whom it answereth.

		The Shepherd of Hermas and the Paschal Controversy
		Hermas' literal fast is the additional free-will service to God (like the servant's distribution of food in the parable), complementing the spiritual fast (typed by the exemplary diligence of the servant), which is care for the poor.
		Hermas' earnest call for repentence and humility within his own family and the church and his rebuke of the elders at Santa Pudenziana might well have aggravated the situation.

	The Shepherd of Hermas - Pictures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Shepherd of Hermas is a Christian work of the first or second century which had great authority in ancient times and was considered by some as one of the books of the Bible.
		She told him that she was his accuser in heaven, on account of an unchaste thought the (married) narrator had once had concerning her, though only in passing; he was to pray for forgiveness for himself and all his house.
		The statement that Hermas wrote during his brother's pontificate may similarly be an inference from the fact that it was in a list of popes that the writer found the information that Hermas was that pope's brother.

	Introduction to the Shepherd of Hermas
		The Shepherd of Hermas was one of the most popular books produced in the early Church, and for a time it was frequently quoted and regarded as inspired.
		It is primarily a call to repentance and adherence to a life of strict morality, addressed to Christians among whom the memory of persecution is still fresh, and over whom now hangs the shadow of another great tribulation.
		The genre of Visions 1-4 is that of a Jewish-Christian apocalypse; except that the interpretation of the vision does not concern the end times, but the possibility of repentance because the end is not yet.

		Hermas ponders all of these magnificent things, but nothing else happens until the one-year reunion of their meeting when he is whisked off in the spirit again to meet the elderly woman in the woolly easy chair.
		Hermas goes home, but a man "of glorious aspect, dressed like a shepherd," comes in who is going to be Hermas's guardian from now on.
		The Shepherd helped to revive and encourage a church that was being shaken by these charismatic heretics, and gave the beleaguered church a footing to resist Montanist attacks.

		The Shepherd, then, might be based upon personal recollections, and upon the traditions of a family which the spirit of prophecy had reproved, and who were monuments of its power.
		Those who believed the apostolic Hermas to be the author, necessarily esteemed the book very highly; and there was much discussion as to whether it was inspired or not.
		The Pastor of Hermas is regarded as a fiction, and the person Hermas, who is the principal character, is, according to this opinion, merely the invention of the fiction-writer.
