The Didache<\/em> is considered part of the group of second-generation Christian writings known as the Apostolic Fathers<\/a>. The work was considered by some Church Fathers<\/a> to be a part of the New Testament<\/a>,[b]<\/a> while being rejected by others as spurious<\/a> or non-canonical<\/a>.[6]<\/a>[7]<\/a> In the end, it was not accepted into the New Testament canon<\/a>. However, works which draw directly or indirectly from the Didache<\/em> include the Didascalia Apostolorum<\/em><\/a>, the Apostolic Constitutions<\/em><\/a> and the Ethiopic Didascalia<\/a>, the latter of which is included in the broader canon<\/a> of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
