The Didache: A New Annotated Translation - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Coming from a time not long after the dawn of Christianity, the Didache is the oldest extant book outside the New Testament to give advice on how Christians should live and pray. It conveys a snapshot of the earliest known state of the traditions which have persisted in most Christian communities to now, including advice regarding fasting, baptism, and the Eucharist.

This new translation presents the text of the Didache in easy-to-understand language, aimed primarily at casual readers and those engaged in self-study, with annotations addressing linguistic and theological concerns, and cross-references to scriptural parallels.
