The First-Day Sabbath is clearly argued as a change from the old Sabbath to a new Christian practice, with a focus on historical and scriptural support.
This book presents a two-part examination of how the old covenant and the seventh-day Sabbath were viewed in Christian history. It lays out a framework that a first-day observance rose to prominence, while exploring how early Christians, biblical interpretation, and later historians shaped the practice. The work also reviews other authors and competing views, inviting readers to weigh the evidence for themselves.
