'''The Shepherd of Hermas''' is a [[Christian]] text that circulated in the early Christian church that records a series of visions relayed by a [[slave]] named Hermas.  Hermas is shown a series of allegorical images representing the Church, and then sees a vision of an [[angel]] who appears in the form of a [[shepherd]], and teaches Hermas a system of commandments and [[ethical]] teachings.  While generally viewed favorably, it was ultimately excluded from the [[Biblical canon]] as not having been written by an [[The Twelve Apostles|Apostle]].
