About this audiobook
Christian Writing Decoded provides the reader with a detailed history and analysis of the most important Christian writings.
The Didache was rediscovered in the Monastery of the Holy Sepulcher in Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey) in 1873 by the Metropolitan Philotheos Byrennios, who would later become the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Nicomedia (Izmit, Turkey).
This manuscript is the sole extant copy of the complete work in Greek and was written in 1056 by a scribe named Leon.
The Didache’s guarded but judicious approach to itinerant figures may be a reminder for us to be tolerant of outsiders who seek Jesus in truth, even if their ways are different from ours—as long as they do not teach us to alter our own practices.

Reviews for Christian Writing Decoded
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
4/5

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book is great! However, it was hard to listen to due to the strange, aggressive ‘voice/tone’ the narrator adopted whenever he quoted Scripture. The narrator does not seem to be a lover of the Bible! Some pronunciations of books (eg Ecclesiasticals and Doyteronomy), and common words (eg Gentiles) make it hard to follow - you have to translate what he’s trying to pronounce in order to follow it. Probably best to read in person!
