form critics
  Form critics have historical skepticism. They think the Gospel reports are just reflections of the primitive Church, and not authentic historical accounts.
      Book From Sabbath To Sunday Page 18
 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

Quotations from our authors:

"Even if the sabbatical materials of the Gospels represent later reflections of the Christian community (which to us is inadmissible), this point would not diminish their historical value. They would still constitute a valuable source for studying the attitude of the primitive Church toward the Sabbath." pg 18,19 - primitve Church, attitude towards Sabbath

"It is also the hope that earnest readers may be stimulated through a better understanding of the meaning of God's holy day to search for a deeper fellowship with the 'Lord of the Sabbath' (Mark 2:28)." - Pg. 16 - Mark 2:28

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). - Jewish context of the Sabbath
