Synopsis

One Sabbath: The Law and the Lord's Day offers a clear, historical argument for a single Sabbath understanding that unites biblical teaching with Christian practice.

Drawing on biblical texts and historical discussion, this book argues that the law given to Israel forms one continuous system with the gospel, and that the Sabbath and the Lord’s Day are parts of one divine pattern for worship and obedience. It surveys how different traditions have interpreted the Sabbath and why a unified view matters for Christian faith today. What you’ll experience

• A thorough look at the origin of the Sabbath and its first enjoinder to humanity.
• Analysis of how the Sabbath relates to the Ten Commandments, the Mosaic law, and the new covenant.
• A historical discussion of how early Christian worship shifted between Sabbath and Sunday observance.
• Debates around Laodicea and other councils, with guidance on reading church history carefully.

Ideal for readers seeking a grounded, historically informed perspective on Sabbath practice and its place in modern Christian life. It’s a solid choice for those interested in biblical law, church history, and the continuity between ancient practice and contemporary faith.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Before the death of the first apostles of Christ, certain law-teachers troubled the churches, and tried to impose upon them the rites of Moses law. In a large assembly of apostles and elders at Jerusalem, it was fully decided and settled not to bind the law upon Gentile Christians. See A cts 15. In the Epistles of Paul the most powerful arguments are brought forth to teach the abrogation of the law, and the superior qualities of the gospel, the law of Christ. The apostle declares that all law-teachers pervert the gospel of Christ, are van janglers, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. After the death of the apostles, a number of heretical sects arose that taught the law was binding and enjoined the observance of the Jewish sabbath. A mong these were the Ebionites, a sect which arose in the second century, and dissented from the general church. They were the rankest heretics of their time. A bout the time of the Reformation, a sect arose in England that zealously advocated the observance of the seventh day. They had many able ministers and writers, and published many books. To-day there is nothing left of their work. It has become entireh extinct.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
