Quotations from our authors:
"Christians would never have come to worship on another day, apart from this freedom respecting the observance of the Sabbath, a freedom bequeathed to them by the Lord himself." Wilfrid Stott, (The Lord's Day, A Theological Guide to the Christian Day of Worship, 1972, p. 43) - Wilfrid Stott
C.S. Mosna said that W. Rordorf gave "the rise of Sunday festivity a too-Christian origin, neglecting other userful elements and detatching it from its Jewish context." (Storia della domenica, pp. 41 and 5). - C. S. Mosna
"If one should limit himself only to ... pieces of undisputed authenticity, it would be impossible to make any real progress, owing to their scarcity. It is therefore necessary to examine the rich patristic and apocryphal literature while keeping in mind its limitations." - Pg. 15 - apocryphal literature
