See Post #12 for another link (posted by NYer).

From what I understand of the early Church, some Christians learned the Apostles Creed as a way of teaching (writing was scarce).

So the Didache was a way to instruct the new Christians (who were generally not always Jewish by background) in the faith - a teaching tool...

That is my understanding...
