The Shepherd of Hermas - Poimēn

Japanese: ヘルマスの牧者 - へるますのぼくしゃ(英語表記)Poimēn
The Shepherd of Hermas - Poimēn

One of the "Apostolic Fathers" of Christianity. The original (Greek) title is simply "The Pastor". It is a type of apocalyptic literature, probably written in Rome in the middle of the 2nd century by a man named Hermas. The text consists of three parts: five "visions", 12 "commandments", and 10 "parables". It preaches the need for repentance, and the overall tone is practical and ascetic. At one time it was treated as the "Bible", but it reflects one aspect of the 2nd century church well.

Japanese:

キリスト教の「使徒教父文書」の一つ。原典(ギリシア語)の題名は単に『牧者』となっている。黙示文学の一種で、ヘルマスという人物がおそらくローマで2世紀の中ごろに書いたもの。本文は五つの「まぼろし」、12の「いましめ」、10の「たとえ」の三つの部分からなる。悔い改めの必要を説き、全体の基調は実践的、禁欲的。一時は「聖書」同様にも取り扱われたが、2世紀の教会の一面をよく反映している。
