James Daniel Tabor : The Didache is a precious witness to a form - TopicsExpress



          

James Daniel Tabor : The Didache is a precious witness to a form of the Christian faith more directly tied to the Jewish orientation of Jesus original followers. It reminds one of sections of the Community Rule (1QS) found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, which provides us with what is perhaps its best Jewish parallel. Along with the letter of James in the New Testament, the embedded source in Luke and Matthew that scholars call Q, and portions of the gospel of Thomas, the Didache preserves for us a glimpse into a more Jewish-oriented, non-Pauline version of the early Jesus movement that I explore in my book [Paul and Jesus] paulandjesus/ .
