A Christian to whom Paul sent salutations in his epistle to the Romans (Rom. 16:1414Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them. (Romans 16:14)). Some have judged him to be one of the Apostolic Fathers, and the writer of a treatise called “THE SHEPHERD OF HERMAS,” which was highly esteemed in the early church. It is a sort of allegory, and has been compared to Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress. Parts of it are very trivial, and some scarcely decent. It is found attached to the Greek manuscript of the New Testament, known as the Codex Sinaiticus, and exists in several ancient Latin copies.
