The Shepherd of Hermas, a very popular text in the western church starting in the second century, is an extra-biblical allegorical work outlining a primarily works-based faith. Some in the early church viewed it as a New Testament Law, and many churches even read from it during worship. While it was valued by the early church it never was considered scripture. The Shepherd of Hermas may have some very good moral teaching, but it is weak theologically and is exceedingly short on grace and the sovereignty of God.
