What is the difference between this work http://www.logos.com/product/9933/the-didache and what we already have in Logos?

A search of my library yields this:

logosres:apfthlkeng;ref=VolumePage.V_1,_p_302;off=1

logosres:apfthhlmeng;ref=Page.p_246

logosres:apfthlfteng;ref=Page.p_211;off=1178

along with a few others.

    Hi Lynden.

    Disclaimer: I have not examined O'Loughlin's book and am going off the descriptions. That said, I'm excited to see it.

    O'Loughlin's book is a whole book about the Didache, it includes a translation and commentary (not nearly as in depth as Niederwimmer's Hermeneia vol on the Didache, I'd guess, but probably more akin to a devotional/expository commentary). I'm guessing there is also some history of the text, how it was found, how it has been received, along with other introductory matters.

    The resources you point to in Logos are translations with introductions of maybe 5 pages. They do not have commentary beyond whatever notes appear in the text or translation.

    If you're interested, you can listen and watch a 10+ minute segment of O'Louglin discussing Why Study the Didache: http://youtu.be/Gx0Seur1nts which might give a flavor for how he'd approach the work in his book.
