Polycarp – the Epistle | BPS4 E11
Manage episode 360171526 series 2987824
Polycarp was a bishop in words and deeds. Like John and Paul before him, he left letters to reinforce the early church's faith. His letters relay accounts of courage and character. So, in this episode, we focus on:
“What does the epistle of Polycarp say?”
Beloved, the epistle of Polycarp, although not included in the Bible, says a lot about the person and character of a church leader. Polycarp shaped the church's firm doctrinal purity, unquestionable testimony of faith and legacy of positive influence. Christian leaders of today can certainly emulate him.
