ZECHARIAH, like Haggai and Malachi, was a post-captivity prophet. He was one of those who came up from Babylon with Zerubbabel (having been born in the land of the stranger) and gave the word of the Lord to the returned remnant.

Didascalia Apostolorum, or just Didascalia, is a Christian treatise which belongs to the genre of the Church Orders.

While the canonical epistles are regarded almost unanimously as genuine writings of the renowned New Testament writer, this...
