The Didascalia Apostolorum: Unmasking Early Church Order

The Didascalia Apostolorum: Unmasking Early Church Order Join us on the St Shenouda Podcast as we delve into the Didascalia Apostolorum (The Teaching of the Apostles), a crucial early Christian legal treatise and Church Order. Although this text is pseudepigraphical, written later, likely in the 3rd century in Syria, possibly near Antioch, it provides a vital “window” into how our forebears organized their communities and defined leadership during a period of theological development. The study of this text is undertaken from an Orthodox perspective, valuing it as a historical document, not a doctrinal authority.
