In Episode 11, we will discussing a document from the very early church called the Doctrine of the Twelve Apostles, or known more simply as the Didache.
Like the sunken Titanic, it was thought that this document was lost to history. However, just as the wreckage of the Titanic was found in 1985, a complete text of the Didache was discovered in 1873 within an 11th century book. In the manner of a good Sherlock Holmes detective story, the Didache offers interesting clues about the community of early Christians by whom and for whom it was written.
