Bible Note: "I have been reading some of your posts. If I understand your argument correctly, you seem to be saying that Sunday worship only began about 400 a.d. in Rome and Alexandria." Greetings Tim! Actually, what the contemporaries of the timeframe you mention say is that Sunday worship did occur at Rome and Alexandria but that elsewhere they continued to worship on the Sabbath (Socrates writing earlier than Sozomen mentions only the Sabbath, while the latter mentions both days). While we can find some authors expressing positive attitudes about Sunday that is a long way from saying that whole churches woprshipped on Sunday. Then, of course, we also need ot consider where they wrote from. If they wrote from Rome or Alexandria then that in no way conflicts with what either Sozomen or Socrates wrote. I do agree with you that the historical evidence is "that the attitude toward the Saturday sabbath ranged from tolerance to rejection." |
