In <a href="/romans/16-14.htm">Romans 16:14</a>, Paul sends greetings to several individuals, including Hermas: "Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers with them" . This brief mention places Hermas among a group of early Christians in Rome, suggesting he was part of the early church community there.<br><br>The name Hermas is of Greek origin, which was common among Jews and Gentiles in the Roman Empire, indicating the diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds of the early Christian church. The context of <a href="/bsb/romans/16.htm">Romans 16</a> suggests that Hermas was likely a member of a house church or a small Christian fellowship in Rome, as Paul often addressed such groups in his letters.<br><br>Beyond this mention in Romans, Hermas is not directly referenced elsewhere in the canonical Scriptures. However, the name Hermas is associated with an early Christian work known as "The Shepherd of Hermas." This text, which is not part of the biblical canon, is an early Christian literary work that was highly regarded in some early Christian communities. It is an allegorical text that includes visions, mandates, and parables, attributed to a figure named Hermas, who is sometimes identified with the Hermas mentioned by Paul. However, this identification is speculative and not universally accepted among scholars.<br><br>"The Shepherd of Hermas" was written in the 2nd century and reflects the concerns and theological themes of the early church, such as repentance, the role of the church, and the importance of living a righteous life. While it was considered valuable for instruction and edification, it was ultimately not included in the New Testament canon.<br><br>In the broader context of early Christianity, Hermas represents the many individuals who contributed to the growth and establishment of the church through their faith and fellowship. His mention in <a href="/bsb/romans/16.htm">Romans 16</a> highlights the interconnectedness of early Christian communities and the importance of personal relationships in the spread of the Gospel. Hermas, along with others greeted by Paul, exemplifies the diverse and vibrant nature of the early church, united in their commitment to Christ and the mission of the church.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Hermas</span><p>Hermes, Mercury; gain; refuge<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Hermas</span><p>(<i>Mercury</i>), the name of a Christian resident at Rome to whom St. Paul sends greetings in his Epistle to the Romans.

Origen and some later writers have identified him with the author of The Pastor of Hermas, but without sufficient reason. According to the Canon of Muratori, the author of The Pastor wrote when his brother Pius was bishop of Rome (140-55 A.D.). He speaks of himself, however, as a contemporary of Clement of Rome (chapter 4) (circa 100 A.D.). The name Hermas is very common, and Origen's identification is purely conjectural.<br><br>S. F.
