Apostolic Constitutions, Book V

Presented as the teaching of the twelve apostles, arranged and sent out by Clement of Rome; actual compiler unknown. The Apostolic Constitutions are a Syrian church order of about AD 375-380, in eight books, reworking and expanding older material (the Didascalia, the Didache, and the Apostolic Tradition) in Books I-VI from the Didascalia. Book V: the martyrs and confessors, avoidance of idolatry, the resurrection, and the feast and fast days, including the reckoning of Pascha. A church-order text, not scripture in kind.
