Quotations from our authors:
About investigating Christ's attitude about the Sabbath is rejected by the form critics: "Form critics would regard this investigation as futile, since they view the Gospels' report of Christ's Sabbath teachings and activities, not as authentic historical accounts but as later reflections of the primitive Church. What Jesus Himself may have thought, they claim is impossible to ascertain." Pg. 18 - form critics
"Tertullian uses the Latin equivalent 'dominicus dies' in De oratione 23 and De corona 3. This became the official designation for Sunday in the Latin languages (cf. domenica, dimanche)." - domenica
N.J. White claimed "an unbroken and unquestioned Church usage" of the phrase "Lord's day" to refer to Sunday since the earliest apostolic times. - N. J. White
