Synopsis
Excerpt from The Teaching of the Apostles and the Sibylline Books
The parallelisms to which I have drawn attention are probably a part of a larger future phenomenon: if, in the providence of God, we should recover any further portions of primitive Christian literature, there would be a harvest of explanations of obscurities both in the New Testament and in the sub-apostolic writings which are at present insoluble. In particular the Doctrina Petn' which forms a companion volume to the recovered Teaching seems to have had analogous relations with the Sibylline books, if we may judge from its few remaining sentences, and may even have a nexus internal and external with the Teaching of the Apostles.
But until we know more about the Teaching or Preaching of Peter we must confine ourselves to the elucidation of the Teaching of the Apostles by means of the study of those early' documents which are accessible to us, such as the earlier parts of the Talmudic literature and those Greek books, the Sibyllines to wit, in which we find a collocation or a fusion of Hebrew, Greek and Christian ethics. With regard to the Talmud, I am too ignorant to say more than that I believe there are passages in the Teaching of the Apostles which only the Mishna can explain; what the Sibyllines have to say will appear in the following remarks.

The Teaching of the Apostles and the Sibylline Books (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fascinating exploration of the relationship between the first-century collection of Christian moral teachings known as the Didache or Teaching of the Apostles, and the writings that were to become the New Testament. Delving into their shared themes and ideas, the author argues that the Didache played a pivotal role in the development of Christian moral thought and conduct, shedding light on the evolution of Christian ethics from its Jewish roots. The parallels and connections that the author establishes between these early Christian texts offer a valuable lens through which to examine the genesis of Christian theology.
