COMMENTATORS ON THE DIDACHE ‘It bears no date itself, nor does it make reference to any datable external event, yet the picture of the Church which it presents could only be described as primitive, reaching back to the very earliest stages of the Church's order and practice in a way which largely agrees with the picture presented by the NT…’ ‘A new consensus is emerging for a date c. 100 AD.’ Jonathan Draper, ‘The Jesus Tradition in the Didache’, in ‘Gospel Perspectives’, pages 269, ‘…the trend is to date the Didache much earlier, at least by the end of the first century or the beginning of the second, and in the case of Jean-P. Audet, as early as C.E.’ Stephen J Patterson ‘The Gospel of Thomas and Jesus’, page 173, 1993

COMMENTATORS ON THE DIDACHE ‘It was written sometime in the late first or early second century and gives good evidence for a structured church's shift in orientation away from spirit-possession.’ Stevan Davies, ‘Jesus The Healer’, page 175, 1995 ‘They had gotten together and agreed upon the practices, prayers, and rituals that defined the Christian way.’ Burton Mack, ‘Who Wrote the New Testament?’, page 240, 1996 ‘…[in the Didache] Jesus is a mediator who serves the Holy Father and it is to God that all returns, not to Christ. Giving Jesus the title "Lord" does not justify the trinitarian identification of Jesus Christ with God (there is no Nicean trinitarian circularity here).’ Wim van den Dungen, ‘The DIDACHE or DUAE VIAE’,
