Testament of Our Lord, Book I

Presented as post-resurrection teaching given by Christ to the apostles; actual author unknown. Scholars have proposed dates ranging from the 2nd to the 5th century AD, with most now favoring a 4th-5th century composition (possibly Cappadocian in origin) that draws on older, 3rd-century source material. Combines an apocalyptic vision of the end times with detailed instructions on church order, liturgy, and ministry.
