The Didache or Teaching of the Apostles by Unknown

The Didache (Koine Greek: Διδαχή, Didachē, meaning "Teaching"... is the common name of a brief early Christian treatise (dated to any point in the first three Christian centuries), containing instructions for Christian communities. The text is possibly the first written catechism, with three main sections dealing with Christian lessons, rituals such as baptism and eucharist, and Church organization. It was considered by some of the Church Fathers as part of the New Testament but rejected as spurious by others, eventually not accepted into the New Testament canon with the exception of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church "broader canon". The Roman Catholic Church has accepted it as part of the collection of Apostolic Fathers. — Excerpted from Didache on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
