The following is a summary of @FrJohnBehr's excellent keynote address at #OxPats19, entitled "The Gospel of John in the Second Century".
@FrJohnBehr 1. He began by identifying a series of key historical notes about the development of Christianity, especially with respect to annual commemoration of Pascha vs. the Sunday commemoration of the Eucharist via John's Gospel.
@FrJohnBehr 1a. For example, it is only from the "school" of the Johanine Gospel that we have evidence for the annual commemoration of Pascha, a commemoration that treats, crucifixion, death, resurrection (and even Pentacost) as a single event.
