4.9/5 (32766 ratings)

Description:24-page single-spaced research paper written in 1995. Analyzes evidence from the first-century, Ignatius, Barnabas, Justin, Irenaeus, and Clement. Bacchiocchi's theory is critiqued, with help from Strand and Maxwell.A new reconstruction is suggested, beginning with the observation that Jewish Christians had a practical need for meeting times that did not conflict with synagogue observance. When Gentiles began to be added to the church, they were God-fearing Gentiles who attended synagogue readings and would also need an after-Sabbath meeting time for Christian worship. Eventually Gentiles from pagan backgrounds were also added, e.g., in Alexandria, Ephesus, and Rome. These converts were not in the habit of attending synagogue, but they would nevertheless meet with the others after the Sabbath. Thus there were two groups of those who kept Sabbath and met after the Sabbath, and those who ignored the Sabbath and met only after the Sabbath. This dual development would have been common throughout the empire, since Jews lived in many cities, and evangelists preached to the Jews first. But the need for dual worship meetings would have ceased in most cities as Gentiles became the large majority. Anti-Jewish sentiment could have accelerated this development.There are 91 footnotes.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
