003 - Chapters 11-16

The Didache, commonly known as the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, is a fascinating early Christian treatise that dates back to the late first or early second century. It offers a wealth of insights for Christian communities, featuring instructions that may represent the earliest written catechism. This influential text is divided into three main sections that address Christian teachings, essential rituals like baptism and the Eucharist, and the organization of the Church. While some Church Fathers considered it part of the New Testament, others deemed it spurious or non-canonical, leading to its eventual exclusion from the New Testament canon—except in the Ethiopian Orthodox Churchs broader canon. Rediscovered in 1873 by Philotheos Bryennios, the Didache continues to be a significant work in the study of early Christianity. (Summary by Wikipedia, modified by Sam Stinson)
