Shepherd of Hermas — "Early Christian Text"

Reformed Baptists explicitly deny canonicity of Shepherd of Hermas. While 2nd-century text is historically significant it lacks apostolic authority. 1689 Confession affirms biblical canon was completed with apostolic writings.\n\nNo later writings however venerable can be added to canon. Shepherd is non-inspired non-canonical document. Reformed Baptists may study as early Christian literature but do not treat as authoritative.
