Synopsis

The enduring question of the Sabbath: should one day in seven stand apart, or does a broader holy life render it unnecessary?

This historical theological work examines the purpose and perpetuity of the Sabbath. It surveys key arguments, traces the idea through scriptural and historical lenses, and considers how changes in time and witness might shape its observance today. The author engages with how Sabbath rest fits with moral living, divine authority, and the relationship between creation and redemption.

  • Understand the central debate about keeping all days holy versus designating a weekly day of rest and worship.
  • Learn how the author uses biblical texts to discuss who can authorize changes to Sabbath observance.
  • See how the concept of the Sabbath is framed as an institution with lasting obligation, and how its time and mode might adapt.
  • Explore the argument that changes in practice should not alter the underlying duty to honor God.
Ideal for readers of historical theology, religious history, and discussions on biblical law and Christian practice.
