About This Item
Mahwah, New Jesey: The Newman Press, 2003. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. New/New.
The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. 9.25 inches tall; 984 pages with with a Bibliography and Index.. A groundbreaking study of the use of the Didache in the earliest of Jewish-Christian communities, and for today's Church. [Dennis D. McManus, Georgetown University]
The Didache also known as The Lord's Teaching Through the Twelve Apostles to the Nations is a brief anonymous early Christian treatise (ancient church order) written in Koine Greek. The Didache is considered the first example of the genre of Church Orders. The Didache reveals how Jewish Christians saw themselves and how they adapted their practice for Gentile Christians.
The Didache reveals a tantalizingly detailed description of the prophetic faith and day-to-day routines that shaped the Jesus movement some twenty yearsafter the death of Jesus.
Milavec's clear, concise, and inspiring commentaries are not only of essential importance to scholars, pastors, and students but also very useful for ordinary people who wish to unlock the secrets of the Didache.
Milavec's analytic, Greek-English side-by-side, gender-inclusive translation is included as well as a description of how this document, after being fashioned and used 50-70 C.E., was mysteriously lost for over eighteen hundred years before being found in an obscure library in Istanbul.
