RT Article T1 The Didache and St. Matthew's Gospel JF Scottish journal of theology VO 34 IS 2 SP 109 OP 120 A1 Court, J. M. LA English PB Cambridge Univ. Press YR 1981 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1785560328 AB By widespread agreement the Didache is a riddle and an enigma, as to its chronological and geographical setting, its primitive character in matters of church order and theology, or its artificiality as a romantic contrivance or forgery. It is unlikely that the problem will be solved merely by reviewing the arguments yet again. But it may be possible to shed new light by concentrating on the tradition to which the Didache itself suggests that it belongs. An investigation of this tradition may also indicate a relationship between the Didache and St. Matthew's Gospel which is of mutual advantage in exegesis. DO 10.1017/S0036930600013612
