ABSTRACT
This chapter explains about Kurt Niederwimmer who is the author of what is currently the most comprehensive line-by-line commentary on the Didache or 'The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles'. It considers the extent to which the British school can be properly spoken of as a school of thought, and explores their rationale for breaking with the consensus of other scholars, whether working in French, German or English, on this text. Joseph Armitage Robinson was a most able scholar, at home in both New Testament and patristic studies, attentive to the nature of liturgy, familiar with the range of problems ancient texts pose, and in 1912 at the height of his powers. In 1923 R. H. Connolly published an article on the Didache in the Journal of Theological Studies which sought to advance the thesis that the earliest known evidence of the Didache is that to be found in the Didascalia apostolorum.
