Description

The Didache is among the earliest Christian documents outside of the New Testament canon. The word “didache” comes from Greek (διδαχή) and means “teaching.” Our English word “didactic” is derived from it. Though a wide range of dates have been offered for the time of its composition, from as early as 50 A.D. to as late as 150 A.D., there seems to be a growing consensus among conservative scholars that a date of c. 100 A.D. is best. The work is formally anonymous, but it is meant to be a summary of apostolic teaching.
