Synopsis

Discover a historical argument that links the Christian Sabbath with the Creation rest, supported by ancient records from China, Egypt, and beyond.

This concise study argues that the weekly sabbath has a primeval origin and explores how this sacred rest recurs across diverse cultures. It examines the evidence for a seven-day week, the meaning of a day of rest, and how these ideas relate to the Resurrection and the Christian observance.


  • Shows how ancient records from China and Egypt contribute to the idea of a seven-day cycle and a sacred day.

  • Discusses how the planetary week may have influenced timekeeping and religious practice in the Roman world.

  • Considers how the Sabbath is connected to creation, Exodus, and the early Christian pattern of worship and rest.



Ideal for readers of religious history and anyone curious about the roots of weekly sabbath observance and its universal significance.
