The Didache: A Missing Piece of the Puzzle in Early Christianity

The Didache remains an intriguing dilemma for those who study ancient Christian contexts and literature. This edited volume includes essays and responses from specialists in the Didache and in early church history in general. The four sections seek to incorporate those studies that apply generally to the overall content and background of the Didache, to provide several strategies by which to understand liturgical constructions and ritual worship that are reflected in the central portion of the text, to explore the relationship between the Didache and scripture-particularly with respect to the Gospel of Matthew-and to examine the issue of how the Didache relates to subsidiary first-century literature.
