'''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 [[Apostle]].
