“Indeed You Will Even Have No Enemy”: A Spirituality of Moral Vision in the Didache

This article seeks to connect the often divided registers of Christian ethics, spirituality studies, and systematic theology by considering the locus of "vision" in Christian life.  It pursues its course by interpreting an injunction in the Didache calling Christians to surpass merely trying to love their enemies in order to embrace a morality and spirituality in which Christians simply do not have enemies anymore.  This exhortation makes sense only in the context of a spirituality of God-like vision, a spirituality that itself makes sense only in the context of a theology of the indiscriminately loving God who also has no enemy.
