ante nicenian writings recommendation?

[Street Knight]

Can anyone recommend a book (fairly inexpensive) with the near canonical New Testament writings. I have found an online site with these writings, but wanted a "hard copy". I have not been able to find a single book, without having to buy a multiple volume set for several hundred dollars. Mostly I am interested in 3 Corinthians, 1 & 2 Clement, Shepard of Hermas, Epistle of Barnabas, and a few others.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

As far as I know the 3rd letter to the Corinthians has never been found so you cannot get that one...but the collection of apocryphal books and some of the early church writings (as interpreted by Bishop Wake in the 1700s) is made available in "The Lost Books of the Bible" (google it)...it contains Barnabas, Clement, Ignatius, the Shepherd, and others

Thanks. I will check on it.

I am not aware of anyone publishing these works separately. Most of them are too minuscule to justify such a thing.

Thanks Damon Rambo.
I found a multi volume set, (about 20 volumes) but lots of commentary, etc.
Having the works in one book would be great.
I just wanted something, paperback, that I could read some of the works of the early church fathers.
Thanks again.

If you have a Kindle, go to Amazon.

For $2.99 USD, I got:

The Complete Ante-Nicene & Nicene and Post-Nicene Church Fathers Collection: 3 Series, 37 Volumes, 65 Authors, 1,000 Books, 18,000 Chapters, 16 Million Words

You will end up paying through the nose for a hard copy.

These are the 'Apostolic Fathers,' a sub-set of the Ante-Nicene Fathers. What you want is The Apostolic Fathers in English by Michael W. Holmes.
