The Zion Christian Church does not include the Shepherd of Hermas as part of its biblical Scripture. While this early Christian text is historically important for understanding 2nd-century Christianity, it is not canonical Scripture.

The Shepherd of Hermas is a post-apostolic work, written generations after the apostles. It was never universally recognized in the early Church and lacks the apostolic authority necessary for canonical status. The ZCC affirms the 66-book Protestant Bible as its authoritative Scripture.

The ZCC's doctrinal teachings, healing ministry, and spiritual practices are all grounded in the 66 canonical books. The exclusion of non-canonical writings like the Shepherd of Hermas maintains the integrity of the biblical canon and the ZCC's theological foundation.
