The previous chapters must not be forgotten. What have we gleaned? We have seen that the early churches treated the first day as the day for church life; in my view, calling it the Lord’s day. Above all – and the evidence is unmistakable – the early churches, though initially composed of converted Jews – did not assemble on the sabbath.1 Why not?

Why did they never use the word ‘sabbath’ for their day of assembly? And why did they keep the first day?
