Abstract: Sievers, Joseph in: JSJ 29.2 (1998), 241: "After a careful and detailed analysis of Did. 4,8 and parallel traditions as well as of the scholarly discussion of this crux interpretum, author concludes that [a] this section of the Didache is based on a Jewish source and independent of the NT, and [b] one has to distinguish here between almsgiving and communion of goods. The later practice is related to what Josephus, Bellum 2.122-127 say about Essenes living dispersed in towns and villages, not in Qumran".
