I arrived home from sparkhouse yesterday to find a happy package on my doorstep. The DVD I shot with Paraclete Press earlier in the year had arrived: The Faith and Practice of the Earliest Christians: a DVD Study on the Didache with Tony Jones. It turned out great, IMHO. It’s a six-session video curriculum aimed at adult learning communities and Sunday schools, but I imagine it will also be used by high school and college ministries.
It’s a companion to my book, The Teaching of the Twelve: Believing and Practicing the Primitive Christianity of the Ancient Didache Community (a book that, I must say, has been very well received by those who have read it).
The DVD is now on sale at Paraclete’s website. And you can get a taste in the video below.
If you lead small groups and the like, I encourage you to consider using this book and video in tandem. I think it will provoke a lot of great discussion about the nature of the Christian faith and how our faith was practiced in the very earliest church.
And watch this space — on Monday I’ll ask some Didache trivia and give out complementary copies of the DVD here, on Twitter, and on Facebook.

Excellent.
I’ll bring this up at small groups tonight.
Congratulations, Tony.
