Διδαχή των Δώδεκα αποστόλων = Teaching of the Twelve Apostles by Bryennios et al.

"Διδαχή των Δώδεκα αποστόλων = Teaching of the Twelve Apostles" is an anonymous early Christian treatise written in the first or second century AD. This ancient church manual provides instruction on Christian ethics, rituals, and organization, opening with contrasting paths of virtue and wickedness. It includes the Lord's Prayer, detailed guidance on baptism and Eucharist, and rules for fasting. The text reveals how Jewish Christians adapted their practices for Gentile converts and offers a glimpse into early church structure, featuring itinerant apostles, prophets, and emerging local leadership. Lost for centuries, it was rediscovered in 1873. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
