'A valuable and thorough introduction to an important though
little-studied work that provides a unique window on a corner of
the early Christian world.'
*Sean Freyne, Emeritus Professor of Theology, Trinity College
Dublin*
'A truly accessible commentary on this ancient text and on the
early Christian communities that lie behind it, and yet one that
incorporates up-to-date academic scholarship.'
*Paul Bradshaw, Professor of Liturgy, University of Notre Dame,
USA*
'I highly recommend this informed, engaging and pastorally
sensitive exploration of the Didache. Reading the text within its
Jewish roots and in harmony with its New Testament parallels,
Thomas O'Loughlin shows how the Didache admirably shaped the faith
and practice of second-generation Christians in ways that have
relevance for us today.'
*Aaron Milavec, author of The Didache: Faith, Hope, and Life of the
Earliest Christian Communities, 50 - 70 C.E*
