On the First Day of the Week: God, the Christian and the Sabbath

by Iain D. Campbell, Joel R. Beeke (Foreward)

In an increasingly secular world, the personal and social benefits of Sabbath-keeping are being lost to us more and more. But the church and not just the world is finding it increasingly difficult to defend the traditional view that the fourth commandment is still binding on us, and that God wants us to honour the first day of the week, the Lord's Day, as a Christian Sabbath. This book examines some of the issues raised in this debate, and argues that for the Christian believer, the Sabbath principle is one which is still binding, relevant, necessary and beneficial.

Reviews

[Daniel]

This book is probably the best medium-length defence of Sabbath observance around. Apart from some of his comments regarding the judicial law and a couple of other very minor points, I heartily enjoyed this book and was challenged to greater Sabbath sanctification in expectation of our eternal Sabbath with the risen Saviour. My copy has the added bonus of being singed by the author with a personal greeting to myself :-)
