In 1883 he edited the manuscript for publication, and its special fascination for scholars remains undiminished. One of the oldest extracanonical Christian documents, the Didache's origins can be traced to the first century. It is apparently a catechism, intended to provide basic instruction in the Christian lifestyle and worship for persons preparing for baptism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Didache exhibits fascinating echoes of Jesus' teaching in its Matthean form, along with rare glimpses into the life of an early Christian community--its values, its observance of the Eucharist, its leaders, and the character of its hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNiederwimmer's wonderful commentary is a model of clarity and learning and a splendid addition to this premier commentary series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kurt Niederwimmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0800660277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780800660277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.58h x 8.46w x 1.08d","brand":"Kurt Niederwimmer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926097428735,"sku":"9780800660277","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9a958112-0eb9-4bba-9217-9743ec896dfa.jpg?v=1681081183","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-didache-kurt-niederwimmer-9780800660277","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
