The Sabbath and Sunday From the Second Through Fifth Centuries

Kenneth A. Strand ; Andrews University, Berrien Springs, MI, USA

Abstract

The evidence that Sunday was not substituted for Saturday as the Christian weekly day of worship or rest during New Testament times is clear. In addition, persuasive evidence is set forth that Jerusalem was not the place of origin for Christian Sunday observance. Indeed, the earliest direct evidence for Christian weekly worship on Sunday comes from second-century Alexandria and Rome.
