Didaché 9-10 : problémy a perspektivy současného bádání

This article reconsiders recent scholarship on the Didache 9-10 and analyzes some of the important social formative terms used in this early Christian text. It is argued that the concentration of recent scholars on the essence of the meal prescribed in the text and on the supposed Jewish roots of the text unjustly shadowed the social formative aspects standing behind the text itself. A social scientific approach to early Christianity is much more helpful than these traditional questions if we want to disentangle the communal identity of the group standing behind the text and put this group into the context of other early Christian movements.
