Heaton applies a rise-and-fall structure to the early Christian book known as the Shepherd of Hermas, first proposing a soteriological hermeneutic and evaluating its predominantly positive reception among early church. Heaton propounds an interpretation of the Shepherd of Hermas as a book meant to guide his readers toward salvation.
