It is a short work in four parts: the first section, Chapters 1-6, are moral guidelines for converts; the second part gives advice on Christian ritual - such as baptism, fasting, and the Eucharist (Chapters 7-10); the third centres on the ministry and how to treat apostles, prophets, bishops, and deacons (Chapters 11-15); and the final section (Chapter 16) is eschatological in nature and speaks of Christ's second coming.</p><p> This easy-to-read translation by Hitchcock and Brown was the first English translation to be published and comes with both an introduction and notes.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Introduction</p><p><strong>The Didache (English Translation from ancient Greek)</strong> </p><p>Chapter I </p><p>Chapter II</p><p>Chapter III</p><p>Chapter IV</p><p>Chapter V</p><p>Chapter VI</p><p>Chapter VII</p><p>Chapter VIII</p><p>Chapter IX</p><p>Chapter X</p><p>Chapter XI</p><p>Chapter XII</p><p>Chapter XIII</p><p>Chapter XIV</p><p>Chapter XV</p><p>Chapter XVI</p><p><strong>The Didache (Ancient Greek text)</strong></p><p>Chapter I - Chapter XVI</p><p>Use of the Holy scriptures in the Teaching</p><p>Notes</p><p>Errors in the Codex Corrected by Bryennios</p><br>
