The Shepherd of Hermas (Greek: Ποιμὴν τοῦ Ἑρμᾶ, Poimēn tou Herma; Latin: Pastor Hermae), sometimes just called The Shepherd, is a Christian literary work of the late first half of the second century, considered a valuable book by many Christians, and considered canonical scripture by some of the early Church fathers such as Irenaeus.[1] The Shepherd was popular among Christians in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th centuries.[2] It is found in the Codex Sinaiticus.[3][4] The Muratorian fragment identifies the author of The Shepherd as Hermas, the brother of Pius I.[5]
