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
"The Synoptics (Matt. 12:8; Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5), however, contain a similar locution, namely 'Lord of the Sabbath', a phrase used by Christ at the end of a dispute with the Pharisees over the question of legitimate Sabbath activities." - Pg. 17 - Lord of the Sabbath
"Christ proclaimed Himself master of the Sabbath specifically to liberate man from formal burdens like the Sabbath, which had become unnecessary." -Pg 18 - C. S. Mosna
