Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An English Translation of the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles 1. The Document. The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, commonly called the Didache, is perhaps the most important discovery of recent years relating to Christian antiquity. It was found in a monastery at Constantinople by Bryennius, who published the book in 1883. No other manuscript is known, though a Latin version of part of the document is extant, and later books of Church ordinances have incorporated much of it. 2. Author and Date. The author is unknown. The date is still a matter of controversy after some forty years. If the tract dates from a very early time - say the end of the first century - it is our only piece of contemporary evidence for certain phases of Church life in the period between the New Testament and the developed Church life of the second century. But some have found it difficult to believe that there ever was a state of the Church like that here described. They are therefore inclined to place the document in the latter half of the second century, and to call it an imaginative reconstruction of supposed primitive conditions. Or at best it is thought to reflect the practice of a remote community out of touch with the main stream of Church life. Such arguments are unsatisfactory. A better test is provided by the Epistle of Barnabas, which is generally dated about 75 A.D. or about 130 A.D.
