Excerpt from The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles: With Illustrations From the Talmud
The so-called Teaching of the Twelve Apostles is a long-lost ancient Church manual, which on its discovery was assigned to the second century, but which many now hold, not without good reason, to be a genuine relic of the first.
It contains a scheme of moral precepts under the head of the Two Ways of life and death, followed by ordinances relating to the Sacraments and the Ministry of the Church, and these by a striking section on the last things. That it should include no statement or exposition of dogma is in keeping with its supposed early date; such matters being precisely those which would continue longest to be handed down solely by word of mouth.
