Abstract

The Didache remains an intriguing dilemma for those who study ancient Christian contexts and literature. This edited volume includes essays and responses from specialists in the Didache and in early church history in general. The four sections seek to incorporate those studies that apply generally to the overall content and background of the Didache, to provide several strategies by which to understand liturgical constructions and ritual worship that are reflected in the central portion of the text, to explore the relationship between the Didache and scripture-particularly with respect to the Gospel of Matthew-and to examine the issue of how the Didache relates to subsidiary first-century literature.

Abstract

This study explores the background, character, and function of Colossians as a form of theological education and appeal in the Pauline tradition. A historical, literary, rhetorical, and narrative analysis of the text shows how its theological affirmations and claims were presented so as to engage the life of its readers in practical ways and in practical contexts, especially in order to direct their moral formation as Christians and their self-understanding as a Christian community in a time of controversy. The specific strategies adopted by the author in designing his message and instructing the readers are familiar from Hellenistic conventions of moral and spiritual guidance, particularly those conventions associated with philosophic paraenesis , or moral exhortation for recent converts.
