Rick Brannan, an Evangelical, is just starting a blog-study of the Didache, the first-century Christian manual of discipline and liturgy. It looks promising. A little familiarity with Greek will help, but it’s not necessary, as Rick is providing line-by-line translation.

I like the fact that Rick provides a guide to pronouncing the title. Our St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology promotes a book in the Didache catechetical series, and people don’t know quite what to do with the name. Often they reach back into high-school French and ask about “the Di-DAWSH series.”

Will you have escargot with that?
