Abstract
This article discusses the transition of the first and second century church out of the Synagogue in respect to the understanding of the Sabbath. While Rabbinic theology leads to specification of required behavior during this feast, Christian church tends to loosen the binds connected with its practices.
This idle approach towards celebration of Sabbath is foremost shown in the work of the authors of two early Christian epistles: Hebrews and Barnabas, both of whom build upon the Jewish apocalyptic literature. Present article comes out of the Rordorf 's mathematical classification of eschatological aeons and in narrative exegesis of Heb 3,7-4,11 and Bar 15 shows how their concept of eschatological Sabbath, despite many similarities, differs.
