Didascalia | 1 Downloaded from Coptic-Wiki.Org DIDASCALIA ةيلوقسد the Complete Title of This Third-Century Work Is Didasc Didascalia | 1 دسقولية DIDASCALIA The complete title of this third-century work is Didascalia id est doctrina catholica duodecim apostolorum et discipulorum sanctorum Salvatoris nostri (Instructions, That Is, Catholic Doctrine, of the Twelve Apostles and Holy Disciples of Our Savior). Although originally written in Greek, it is currently extant in a Syriac translation and extensive Latin fragments. Portions of the Greek text are found in the fourth-century APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTIONS, for the compiler of that work used theDidascalia extensively in the early part of his work. Connolly has observed that the Didascalia makes considerable use of the Old Testament, especially Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. The Gospels were used as sources, including the episode of the woman taken in adultery, and allusions to apostolic sources are apparent, though there are no references to them as written sources. The Didascalia makes use of both Old and New Testament apocryphal works, in addition to such works as the Sibylline Oracles and the DIDACHE. Downloaded from Coptic-Wiki.org Didascalia | 2 The Didascalia apostolorum in English 1903 by Margaret Dunlop Gibson The work is usually classified among writings dealing with ecclesiastical offices and orders, and it purports to be a compilation ofinstructions made by the apostles immediately after the Jerusalem Council of Acts 15. Following a brief opening address to all Christians to give heed to the teaching of the document, the treatise turns to the duties of bishops, including bishops’ courts for lawsuits between believers and the conduct of worship services. There follow instructions on how to deal with widows, how to assign deacons and deaconesses in their responsibilities, and what to do with orphans. Downloaded from Coptic-Wiki.org Didascalia | 3 Other subjects included in the Didascalia are martyrdom, fasting and the Easter season, heresies and judgments against heretics, and the relationship of the Old Testament rituals to the New Testament church. Practical advice is given relating to morality, decency in language, dietary freedom, and how to treat visitors. Reference is also made concerning the assignment of the apostles to various provinces, though specific locations are not given. Because the Didascalia was composed in the east, probably in Syria, its effect on developing church orders and regulations in the churches of the region should not be surprising, and indeed, reference to it in a gloss to a Coptic version of a letter of Athanasius argues for its presence in Egypt. Later references to the Didascalia are surprisingly rare, however, with Epiphanius being perhaps the earliest author to cite the work in his own writings. BIBLIOGRAPHY Primary Sources S. P.

It was she who first suggested I investigate the Pseudo-Clementine Homilies. Dr. Kelley’s enthusiastic direction through the Pseudo-Clementines has always been coupled with the freedom to explore comparisons with other writings – a freedom that eventually led me to the Didascalia Apostolorum and Ptolemy's Letter to Flora.

(Reprinted 2019) Reprinted from Concordia Journal, April 2005 (113-125). Used by permission. PREFACE Lutheran theology without mercy renders the confession of the faith a clanging cymbal. Mercy without the mooring of a solid confession, and rooted in the church’s life of worship, quickly loses its Christian character. This essay by Rev. Dr. Norman Nagel of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, is offered here for broader distribution. The essay is brief, but carefully packed with insight on the New Testament and the ministry of mercy. In the solid Lutheran tradition, Dr. Nagel notes that care for the needy was a concern of the apostolic office, and continues with the office of the ministry (See Walther’s Pastorale, paragraph 39). The “seven” of Acts 6, argues Nagel, were ordained to the office of the ministry, and specifically tasked with care for the needy.

  • Why Do Gnostics Consider Mary Magdalene the Greatest Apostle?
    Why Do Gnostics Consider Mary Magdalene the Greatest Apostle? BY MIGUEL CONNER · JULY 15, 2015 Mainstream Christianity has many views of Mary Magdalene. She is a penitent sinner, a redeemed prostitute, the first witness to the Resurrection, the messenger to the Apostles, and a source of erotic inspiration for artists throughout history. Mary Magdalene is a complex, misunderstood, and marginalized figure in Orthodoxy, a symbol for the plight of females within the Christian religion. But in Gnosticism her role is clearly defined—Mary Magdalene is not only the main Apostle to the living Christ but a Gnostic leader for the ages. This declaration is perhaps ironic since Gnostics have a tendency to continually re- interpret and re-evaluate Biblical characters to suit their spiritual explorations. But there’s something about Mary. One of the most thorough expositions on the Gnostic Mary Magdalene comes from Jane Schaberg’s The Resurrection of Mary Magdalene. Schaberg lists nine characteristics that define the consort of Jesus Christ, as she is known in Gnostic and Apocryphal texts: 1) Mary is Prominent. The Magdalene is a main protagonist whenever she appears. In The Dialogue of the Savior, Mary is considered a “sister,” an equal to those entrusted with spreading the light of Gnosis. In The Gospel of Philip, she is one who “always walks with the Lord,” a privilege only enjoyed by Enoch and Noah in the entire Bible. Mary replaces the two Patriarchs of the Old Testament as a favorite of the Divine in the new dispensation. In The Pistis Sophia, Mary is the most outstanding student of Jesus, the chief questionnaire who gives the most insightful answers.

  • The Didascalia 1
    258 THE JOURNAL OF THEOLOGICAL STUDIES BrahmaI_J.as, an earnestness which is not ethical or strictly intellectual, but that of a man communicating to a friend and pupil supernormal truths which are to him of the uttermost concern. The mass and variety of information and discussions contained in these two fine volumes compel something more than admiration of the author's reading and his powers. While the general outcome is, as we have mentioned, on the conservative side, it may well be believed that no developed theory, or even suggestion, in the field has passed un­ noticed. It seems unlikely, and the author has rendered it unnecessary, that the same ground should ever again be covered in this manner. The future progress of Vedic studies may be by way of following, as new points of light reveal themselves, particular lines of enquiry leading back from the earliest historical data. F. W. THOMAS. 1 THE DIDASCALIA . DOM Connolly, in the book which is the subject of this article, has produced a most useful and long-needed work. The texts are not indeed new, and they have even been translated into English, but in a cumbrous and unscientific form. It is not too much to say that the D.idascalia is now for the first time fully available to the student of early Christian Institutions. Those who wish to learn what a Christian congregation before the time of Constantine was really like must turn to three main sources : the _[)z"dache, the Hippolytean Apostolic Tradition, and the Didascalia. To these must be added, if we include Syriac-speaking Christianity out­ side the Roman Empire, the document known as the Canons of Addai, which was printed by Cureton in Ancient Syn"ac Documents (r864) and there named 'The Doctrine of the Apostles' (pp.

  • Logo1 As Cited in the Didascalia Apostolorum
    PROLEGOMENA TO A STUDY OF THE DOMINICAL LOGO1 AS CITED IN THE DIDASCALIA APOSTOLORUM Part I: Introductory Matters* JAMES J. C. COX Andrews University In the third century of the Common Era, possibly during its first two or three decades, an anonymous Christian author, possibly a bishop, resident in Palestine or, more probably, Syria, composed, in Greek, a "Church manual" commonly known as the Didascalia or Didoscalia Apostolorurn. Of those who discuss the question of the date of the composition of the original Greek text of the Didascalia, almost all are per- suaded that it was composed during the third century of the Common Era. Of these, some contend that is was during the first half, if not within the first two or three decades, of that century (so, for example, F. Nau,' A. von Harna~k,~R.
