The Teaching of the Twelve: Believing & Practicing the Primitive Christianity of the Ancient Didache Community

Â
What can we know about the practices of the early church?
Â
Â
â‚¬Å“The Didache is the most important book you've never read,â‚¬Â begins Tony Jones, in this engaging study.
Â
The Didache is an early handbook of an anonymous Christian community, likely written before some of the New Testament books were written.Â It spells out a way of life for Jesus-followers that includes instruction on how to treat one another, how to practice the Eucharist, and how to take in wandering prophets. In The Teaching of the Twelve, Jones unpacks the ancient document, and he traces the life of a small house church in Missouri that is trying to live according to its precepts.Â
Â
Readers will find The Teaching of the Twelve inspirational and challenging, and they will discover a unique window into the life of the very earliest followers of Jesus the Christ. A new, contemporary English translation of the Didache is included.
