Three Early #Christian #Writings Spliced Together Into One: The #Didache

https://ehrmanblog.org/three-early-christian-writings-spliced-together-into-one-the-didache

During the early years of Christianity, many of the church leaders or "Fathers" wrote down admonishments and instruction on what it meant to be a follower of Jesus as well as what liturgical ceremonies should be followed as a believer in these early Christian communities. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/904/the-didache-a-moral-and-liturgical-document-of-ins/ #History #Christianity #Church #Didache

The Didache (Koine Greek: διδαχή), also known as “The Teaching,” or, “The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles,” is an enigmatic primitive Church document describing early Christian ethics, practices, and order. https://www.worldhistory.org/Didache/ #History #Christianity #Didache

Found a translation of the #Didache online, thinking it might be a good read. Turned out to be an awful translation. My koine Greek isn't great but even I can tell that paidofqorhseiv should be translated as something like pedophilia (rather than omitted entirely!) and that porneuseiv is not "sodomy"

Just awful.

Bought a locally published Didache so I have a portable reference for daily readings, reflections, etc.
