Moravians do not accept the Shepherd of Hermas as Scripture. This is an important early Christian document (2nd century) that reflects the faith and practice of the post-apostolic church, but it is not considered canonical. The Moravian Church affirms the 66-book biblical canon as its scriptural authority.

The Shepherd of Hermas may be read for historical understanding and for its witness to early Christian repentance theology. The text's emphasis on transformation and spiritual renewal resonates with Moravian spirituality. However, Moravians recognize it as a historical document, not as Scripture. Its value is primarily for understanding the development of Christian thought and practice in the patristic period.
