| Many
documents exist accurately identifying the historical reasons for
Sunday keeping. One of the most comprehensive and exhaustive treatise
on the subject can be found in a book that is highly recommended to
those seeking a detailed study of the subject. The book is written
by Dr Samuel Bacchiocchi, entitled From Sabbath to Sunday: A Historical
Investigation of the Rise of Sunday Observance in Early Christianity.
In the book Dr Bacchiocchi provides an abbreviated version of his
doctoral dissertation as submitted to the Pontifical Gregorian University
in Rome. He received a gold medal from Pope Paul VI for earning the
academic distinction of summa cum laude, for outstanding scholarship
and rigorous scientific method.
In the pages that follow are summary statements of the historical transfer of the Sabbath to Sunday. With time various other articles will be added to this section. |
