Publisher's Synopsis
The book titled ""The Sunday Observance Unknown To Christianity Before The Middle Of The Second Century"" by Abram Herbert Lewis is an in-depth exploration of the origins and history of Sunday observance in Christianity. The author delves into the earliest Christian writings and historical documents to trace the development of Sunday as a day of worship and rest. Lewis argues that Sunday observance was not a practice of the early Christian church, but rather emerged gradually over the course of the second century. He examines the various factors that contributed to the adoption of Sunday as a holy day, including the influence of Roman culture and the shift away from Jewish Sabbath observance. The book also delves into the theological debates surrounding Sunday observance, including arguments over the relationship between Sunday and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Lewis provides a detailed analysis of the writings of early Christian theologians and church fathers, shedding light on the diverse perspectives and opinions on the subject. Overall, ""The Sunday Observance Unknown To Christianity Before The Middle Of The Second Century"" is a scholarly work that offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and evolution of one of Christianity's most important traditions.
