The Apostolic Constitutions

Introduction

The Apostolic Constitutions is an ancient document that lays out the rules, ethics and modes of behavior for Christians. It consists of several well-known ancient works that were all compiled in around [year?] by Pope Clement of Rome. Although several major works have gone into the body of the Constitutions, none are as profound and extensive or carry as much weight as The Didache, an ancient Treatise by the Lord's Apostles. The Didascalia, an ancient work said to be written around 250 AD in Syria is another work spread throughout the body of the document, and this too, was based on the Didache. Most scholars feel that The Constitutions was actually a composition of the third century, probably owing to the later liturgical interpolations. Jdgray 23:36, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
