The Apostolic Fathers and the Didache
Manage episode 407295361 series 3561901
In this second chapter of "Christian Spirituality," I introduce the group of authors known as the Apostolic Fathers and then discuss the Didache, a late first-century text, as indicative of early Christian spirituality. This means talking about morality, food sacrificed to idols, baptism, the Lord's prayer, the daily office, fasting, Holy Communion, and church order.
