'Thanks for reacting and the shout out just subbed'
Lost for 1,500 years, this first-century discipleship manual reveals how the earliest Gentile followers of Jesus were taught to live. Explore the practical, challenging, and convicting instructions on everything from baptism and fasting to false prophets and the end of the age.
An overview of this ancient text-a practical discipleship manual for new Gentile believers in the first-century church.
Explore the core teaching of the Didache: the Way of Life versus the Way of Death, and what each path entails.
Discover how the early church handled baptism (immersion in living water), fasting, and communal meals.
Learn the practical tests the early church used to identify 'Messiah-peddlers' and freeloaders in their midst.
Understand why this valuable text was never included in the New Testament and why it fell out of use for centuries.
A look at the Didache's clear, apocalyptic vision of the end times, including two resurrections and a great falling away.
The Didache is not a book of abstract theology; it's a practical guide to holy living that is as challenging today as it was 2,000 years ago.
"Let your donation sweat in your hands until you know whom to give it." The Didache commands radical generosity but also shrewd wisdom, instructing believers to support true teachers and the poor, while guarding against freeloaders and false prophets who ask for money.
The text explicitly forbids practices common in the Greco-Roman world: "Do not murder children through abortion nor kill them after they have been born." It also condemns sorcery, magic, astrology, and sexual immorality, drawing a hard line between the Way of Life and the Way of Death.
This conversation is resonating deeply with our audience.
"Congrats on the book launch Caleb."
- @CleverCroc"This is so convicting. The early church took holiness seriously in a way we've totally lost."
- @discipleofTheWay"The part about scrutinizing travelers and prophets is mind-blowing. We need that discernment back in the church today."
