Shepherd of Hermas not Scripture; non-canonical early Christian

RCCG does not recognize Shepherd of Hermas as Scripture. This 2nd-century Christian writing while valuable as witness to early church is not part of biblical canon.\n\nRCCG recognizes 66 books as canon and does not extend to post-apostolic writings. Shepherd may be read for historical devotional purposes but lacks authority for doctrine.
