Another interesting thing is that the commonly known ending of the Lord’s Prayer, “for Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever,” is not in the earliest manuscripts from the Gospels, but it does appear as an addendum in the Didache. Scholars have generally concluded that its presence in later manuscripts of Matthew (and hence the KJV) is by the influence of the Didache. I like to think that the Didache continues to show its influence on us.

Neil Degraide of Dirt Poor Robins sent me. Loving your channel already. I wrote a research paper on the Didache (back in the day...). I argued for an early extant version of the text based on it's linguistic construction being closely rooted in oral tradition. Plus, I found a great paper basically making the case that the writers of the Gospels had a copy of the Didache on their desk when they compiled their texts. Some make great arguments for the Didache as being the mysterious 'Q' source that Matthew and Luke used. Fascinating text. Solid video essay you produced here. Cheers.

Establishing identity was vital to knowing who somebody was, and establishing Jesus' connection to the Line of David showed the Jewish people that He was king. And there have been stories of people choosing to join the Christian faith thanks to this one chapter of begats.

GREAT video! I struggle with the Didache. I love it and think it's great in many ways but fully agree it doesn't belong in the NT. "The Judaizers" also predate many books of the NT and they obviously had false teaching. I'm not saying the Didache is false teaching but it is a bit hollow and leans a little on the legalistic side. Romans is, in my opinion one of the best guides for the Church and it opens with an incredible pronouncement of the Gospel which is conspicuously lacking in the Didache. If the Didache was indeed simply meant as a "how to order your life and conduct yourself in the Church" then, great. Again it doesn't say anything that can't be found in the NT (for the most part). But is it really focused on what the 12 were teaching? I'm not so sure.
