This is similar to the practice of many other cultic associations in the Greco-Roman world of the first century CE. Building upon this new approach, along with a critical interpretation of all available sources, this book discusses the social and religio-historical background of the weekly gatherings of Christians and presents a fresh reconstruction of how the weekly gathering originated and developed in both form and content. The topics studied here include the origins of the observance of Sunday as the weekly Christian feast-day, the shape and meaning of the weekly gatherings of the Christian communities, and the rise of customs such as preaching, praying, singing, and the reading of texts in these meetings.Supplements to Vigiliae Christianae ;v. 102.Religious gatheringsChristianityHistoryWorshipHistoryEarly church, ca. 30-600Lord's SupperHistoryEarly church, ca. 30-600AgapeHistorySacred mealsRomeComparative studiesChurch historyPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600Religious gatheringsRomeComparative studiesRomeReligious life and customsReligious gatheringsChristianityHistory.WorshipHistoryLord's SupperHistoryAgapeHistory.Sacred mealsChurch historyReligious gatherings264/.3609015Alikin Valeriy A974428MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910169180603321The earliest history of the Christian gathering2218426UNINA
