Section: 2D3A,2D3B

Didache represents the preserved oral tradition whereby mid-first-century house churches detailed step-by-step transformation by which Gentile converts were to be prepared for full active participation in their assemblies.

In fact, the Didache was created at the time of Paul’s mission to the gentiles, but it shows not the slightest awareness of that mission or of the theology that undergirded it.

The Didache did not originally have any title. When it was used, everyone knew what it was and how it was to be applied. When the written copy did finally get a title it was called “The Training of the Lord Through the Twelve Apostles to the Gentiles.”
