Development of doctrine and rites and orders does not happen overnight.

I have said nothing to imply the contrary.

He might have said it. I don't remember his making that particular remark, but it's been years since I've read any of his works.

Development of doctrine and rites and orders does not happen overnight. Common sense would tell you that.

Uh-huh.
Wasn't it C. S. Lewis who said you can't be too careful of what you read?

You really think they did not discus anything until "about a hundred years later"?

I don't claim to know anything about what they were discussing during that time. There is no surviving documentation that reliably attests to those discussions.

the writings of the early church fathers indicate established teaching and tradition?

They attest to teachings that were current when they were writing. Anything they said about tradition presupposes the truth of those teachings.

What about the Didache?

What about it? When do you think it was written, and why do you think it was written then?

It is possible that he has an argument that (a) I have never heard from any other apologist and (b) would change my mind if I heard it now. But anyone can say that about any book, on any subject, that I have never read. It's a risk I'll just have to take.

Well, at least it would seem to be a scholarly treatment of the material that results in a conclusion you seem to not currently agree with - so, it is apparent he probably has something to say that you may have not considered.....

You really think they did not discus anything until "about a hundred years later"? I suppose you can't deny that they were indeed discussing Jesus BY THAT TIME (evidence!) However, how reasonable do you think it is that that is when the discussion BEGAN? Especially since the writings of the early church fathers indicate established teaching and tradition? What about the Didache? Certainly there is evidence that much was "discussed" before "a hundred years later."
