==Summary==
The Didache(pronounced /ˈdɪdəkiː/; Koine Greek: [[Greek:Διδαχή|Διδαχή]], Didachē "Teaching";(Modern Greek [[Greek:ðiðaˈxi|ðiðaˈxi]]) is the common name of a brief early [[Christian]] treatise (dated by most scholars to the late first/early second century). “The Didache of [[the Twelve Apostles]]” had been written and widely disseminated by about [[100 A.D.]], and became increasingly important in the second and third [[Christian]] centuries. It is an anonymous work not belonging to any single individual, and a pastoral manual "that reveals more about how [[Jewish|Judaism]]-[[Christians]] saw themselves and how they adapted their [[Judaism]] for gentiles than any other book in the Christian [[Scriptures]]." The text, parts of which may have constituted the first written catechism, has three main sections dealing with [[Christian]] lessons, rituals such as [[baptism]] and [[eucharist]], and [[Church ]]organization. It was considered by some of the [[Church Fathers]] as part of the [[New Testament]] but rejected as spurious or [[non-canonical]] by others] eventually not accepted into the [[New Testament]] canon with the exception of the [[Ethiopian Orthodox Church]] "broader canon" which includes the Didascalia which is based on the Didache. The [[Catholic Church]] has accepted it as part of the collection of [[Apostolic Fathers]].
