Thoughts on the "Apostolic Constitutions"?

[Matthew1344]

"The Constitutions of the Holy Apostles"
Do y'all think that they are reliable writings of Clement or no? When do y'all think it was written?

 

[PointyHaired Calvinist]

Nope. Even Roman Catholics say they were written in the fourth century (if not later). They also supposedly have Arian tendencies.

[Phil D.]

I think some parts of the CHP are likley based on things handed down from earlier times, but internal evidence strongly suggest a late 4th Century provenance. Clement was Roman, while much of the CHP has a distinctly Eastern character, placing his direct influence in doubt.

There's nothing apostolic about them.
