About this episode

Dr. Nathan Jacobs explores the reasons behind the shift of Christian worship from Saturday to Sunday, examining historical and theological perspectives.

Dr. Nathan Jacobs examines the claim that Christians worship changed from Saturday to Sunday because of pagan influence and the Roman Emperor Constantine. Tracing the practice from the New Testament through the early Church Fathers, he explores the Christian understanding of the Lord’s Day, the resurrection of Christ, and the profound theology of the “eighth day” that shaped early Christian worship.
