Book Review: The Teaching of the Twelve

The Teaching of Twelve: Believing & Practicing the Primitive Christianity of the Ancient Didache Community The Teaching of Twelve: Believing & Practicing the Primitive Christianity of the Ancient Didache Community by Tony Jones


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
this sounded interesting... a book based on the ancient lost text of the Didache - written between the synoptic gospels and the Pauline epistles.

at times Tony Jones' writing is very heady but i have to admit, Jones gives an interesting history lesson on an ancient writing that may have served as a text for training and building early church disciples.

despite its headiness - it was not a difficult read.

i like the simplistic look at what a follower of Christ is and should be.

The complete Didache text is included - with Jones' commentary and explanation. it is a manual for living faith.

"hate no one. correct some. pray for others, and some you should love more than your own life."
