        			Varner&apos;s book is a delightful introduction to what is most likely the earliest known extrabiblical Christian writing.--Roy B. Zuck &quot;Bibliotheca Sacra, January-March 2008 &quot;Varner has written in such a away that serious laymen, pastors, and scholars alike will profit from engaging this work, which is at once provocative, deep, and readable....this reviewer highly recommends this fresh study of such a critically important historical document. This is a must read for every pastor.--The Master&apos;s Seminary Journal

    More than expected

    The Way of the Didache is so much more than I expected.  I always wanted to read the Didache but thought that it might be a long book written in language that would be a put off.

Any serious student of the early church needs this book.
