Description
Summary:Ever since its publication by Bryennios in 1883 the Didache has been welcomed as a witness to our gospels. ‘We are surprised at the amount of testimony…. that it bears to the Canon’, wrote Bishop Lightfoot in 1885. Forty years later B. H. Streeter hesitated to claim it as a witness to Luke, but insisted that its author seemed ‘not only to have read Matthew, but also, like Ignatius, to refer to it under the title of “The Gospel”’. More positively still in 1957 Philip Carrington described it as ‘an appendix to Matthew, to which [its] readers…are explicitly referred no less than four times’.
