About This Book

The work assembles translated quotations from early Christian writers through the third century, presenting their statements about the Sabbath and the first day of the week alongside a concise introduction and editorial commentary. It arranges testimonies by author and period, contrasts terminology that calls the first day the Lord’s day, the day of the sun, or simply the first day, and assesses whether early practice treated first-day observance as equivalent to obedience to the fourth commandment. Prefatory sections outline three interpretive positions on Sabbath observance and describe the compiler’s selection and textual-comparison methods.
