Featured Term (selected at random):
A first-century treatise, written before A.D. 100. It was rediscovered in 1833 by Bryennios, Greek Orthodox Metropolitan of Nicomedia, in the codex from which in 1875 he had published the full text of the Epistles of St. Clement I. The Didache is divided into three parts: 1. the Two Ways, the Way of Life, and the Way of Death; 2. a liturgical manual treating of baptism, fasting, confession, and Holy Communion; 3. a treatise on the ministry. Doctrinal teaching is presupposed. The Way of Life is the love of God and of neighbor; the Way of Death is a list of vices to be avoided. There is a brief instruction on baptism, references to apostles, bishops, and deacons, and an exhortation to watch and be prepared for the coming of Christ.

Catholic Word of the Day Ping!
Please send me a FReepmail if you would like to be on the Catholic Word of the Day Ping List.
I’d say that “Christian mystic” is in the ballpark. His paper on the Didache, of course, speaks for itself.
Great web page.... thanks for linking it.
Thanks for the analysis post and the ping.

I think this was before the church changed the sabbath to Sunday. Of course Jesus couldn't roll over in his grave when they did that because he wasn't in it.
14:1 Gather together on the Lord’s day, break bread and give thanks, having first confessed your sins so that your sacrifice may be pure.
The Lord’s Day was established as the first day of the week (Sunday) very early in the history of the church.
The weekly day of rest; the sabbath was never changed in the new testament. The apostles were always in the synagogue “on the sabbath.” Even the gentiles were joining them each week in the synagogues on the sabbath seeking correct teaching.

Christians were persecuted in Jerusalem, beginning with the stoning of Stephen. “Saul laid waste the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.” (Acts 8:1,3).
Shortly thereafter, “Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.” (Acts 9:1-2)
Because they were persecuted, Christians could not go to synagogues on the Sabbath if they were known to be Christians, so they met in each others’ homes on the first day of the week.
After his conversion, Paul (Saul) taught in synagogues on the Sabbath, but time after time, he was driven out under threat of death.
Good luck.
