Letter by the Church in Rome to the Church at Corinth

The journey continues. I have just completed reading a letter by the Church in Rome to the Church at Corinth. Possibly, this letter was written towards the end of the first century AD. Translators attribute this letter to Clement of Rome (who is also celebrated by some Christians as having received his authority as the Bishop of Rome from Apostle Peter). The Christian group in Corinth seemed to have reached out to fellow believers in Rome seeking guidance on specific calamitous issues. Paul’s and Peter’s martyrdom was still fresh in the mind of the church in Rome. The church spoke of the two as “the greatest and most righteous pillars”. Curiously, the Christians in Rome quoted extensively from the Septuagint (LXX) and others unknown texts! They spoke fondly of Adam, Abraham, Noah, Psalmist, Daniel, and Isaiah. They even quoted from an Egyptian myth in support of the teaching on resurrection. Yet these early Christians seem to have been unaware of any book of the New Testament. On Yeshua, they spoke with authority. They were the AUTHORITY! Kĩriakũ wa Kĩnyua
