Didache A short treatise which was accounted by some of the Fathers as next to Holy Scripture.
The Didache is unique amongst early Christian texts by its emphasis on itinerant ministers it describes as apostles and prophets; while it provides for a local ministry of bishops and deacons, these are described in far more detail in the writings of Ignatius of Antioch and Pope Clement.

 JESUS-PEOPLE : the Didache
The rituals proposed in the Didache are firmly rooted in the tradition of Jewish prayer or "berakoth" (Didache 10 is suggestive of the "birkat ha-mazon", a thanksgiving prayer at the end of the Jewish supper).
In the Didache a Jewish prayer of thanksgiving is used and "Jesus Christ" is added, not as the Son (this word "yios" is used in 7:1) but as a "servant" (the Greek word "pais" also means "child" but also "slave") of the same rank as David (no distinction is introduced in the text).
Its rediscovery has had a considerable influence, for the Didache is the first non-canonical text of early Christianity, probably contemporary of the narrative gospels.

 The Didache with Commentary
The Didache (from a Greek word related to "doctrine," "didactic," etc.), which was revised over time into varying forms at various places, seems to have been a sort of church manual for primitive Christians, probably in rural areas dependent mostly on itinerant ministers.
The Greek "Apostolic Constitutions" has many references to the Didache, re-worked with additional Scriptures and other traditions, as does the Ethiopic "Ecclesiastical Canons of the Apostles." Arabic versions both add and subtract from the Didache.
In Biblical idiom in both the Old and New Testaments, "prophet" is used of one who (professedly) announces the will or celebrates the works of God, whether these relate to things past, present, or future, and is applied to patriarchs, orators, singers, songstresses, priests, and preachers.
