This should be read by every Christian believer as it is the teaching of the earliest Church. The name Didache is from the Greek word related to "doctrine". The only known complete Didache is the Codex Hierosolymitanus, preserved at Constantinople which contains a complete Greek version of the Didache, the title includes the words "written in the year 90 or 100 after the Lord Christ" however scholars believe it could date as early as AD50.
This is the teaching of the Apostles at such an early time that only two of the Gospels are quoted and none of the Epistles. The Church had no New Testament – just a few documents floating around, yet here is the clear teaching of Christ being handed on to the Church by the Apostles in this short catechism-like document. We believe that this was the document sent by Saint John the Divine to the Church in Britain shortly after it was written.
All proceeds of this title go to the Saint Bride Hermitage.
