medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Can do, Dean: the eighth day / octave idea is Hebrew in origin. Essentially,
from a theological perspective, it is time outside of time, the first and
last days of creation, which is why the Fourth Gospel makes such use of it.
I could dig out some references for you, if it would help.
Best wishes,
Paul

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Greetings all.
A friend asked this morning about the significance of the "eighth day" in
theology. I wonder if anyone could supply some information/links which I
might pass along. I suspect the beginnings of "Eighth Day" Theology are far
older than the medieval period, but any help you certainly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rev. Dean M. Bell
