Compiled in the fourth century, The Apostolic Constitutions preserves a detailed portrait of ancient Christianity as remembered and shaped in the Eastern Mediterranean. Presented as direct teachings from the apostles to their followers, this composite text offers practical instruction on virtually every aspect of church life: leadership roles, moral expectations, sacraments, worship, and more.

While scholars acknowledge its pseudepigraphal nature, the Constitutions remain one of the earliest and most systematic attempts to define Christian doctrine, practice, and governance in a single document.

This new translation, crafted with modern readers in mind and assisted by AI for accuracy and clarity, makes this foundational text accessible to a broad audience—whether you're exploring the roots of apostolic tradition, researching early church teaching, or simply curious about the lived faith of ancient Christians.

A vital resource for understanding how the early church imagined itself: rooted in apostolic authority, yet responding to the complexities of its time.
