"The enduring value of G.'s study is that he has supplied scholars with a pioneering and much-needed investigation. G. effectively calls into question all the present literature calculated to demonstrate the dependence on the Didache on Matthew's Gospel. For this reason alone, it will have to be taken into account." -The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 67, 2005
