Mababu wa Kitume

Papa Klementi I

Ignas wa Antiokia

Polikarpo wa Smirna

Papia wa Hierapoli

Kwadrato wa Athens

Mababu wa Kitume walikuwa Wakristo waandishi wa karne ya 1 na ya 2 BK ambao wanashika nafasi ya pekee kati ya Mababu wa Kanisa kutokana na ujirani wao na Mitume wa Yesu, ambao baadhi yao waliweza kuwafahamu au walau waliathiriwa nao sana kupitia mtu aliyewafahamu ^[1]. Ingawa baadhi ya maandishi yao yalitungwa wakati uleule wa vitabu kadhaa vya Agano Jipya na pengine yalitumika sana katika Kanisa la mwanzoni, hatimaye hayakupokewa katika Biblia ya Kikristo ^[2].
