Description
The Didache: A Summary of Christian Standards This ancient text provides a concise guide to Christian behavior, written for those outside the Jewish tradition. The Didache is a straightforward, practical manual, not a literary work like the New Testament. It reflects the debates of the apostolic era, prioritizing personal behavior and worship practices. The text includes directions for baptism, holy communion, and interactions with wandering Christian teachers, as well as policies for church organization and the end of the world. The Greek text, from the Codex Heirosolymitanus, dates back to 1056 and was discovered in Constantinople in 1875. The Didache does not assert apostolic authorship, and its writing style is distinct, using the singular ("My child...").
