The Apostles as Elders of the Universal Church

Description

Many scholars argue that the second-century church had no direct access to the apostles. Is this correct? What did second-century church father Papias mean when he referred to the Elders - were they the apostles, or second-generation followers of Jesus? This talk examines the relationship between the apostles and the next generation of church fathers.
