About This Book

A clerical commentator addresses contemporary disputes over Sunday observance, arguing that Christian practice should be governed primarily by New Testament principles and the spirit of Christ rather than strict obedience to the Mosaic Sabbath. He surveys early Christian evidence for a distinct Lord’s Day, notes instances where both Saturday and Sunday were kept, and finds no apostolic mandate to perpetuate the Jewish Sabbath. He criticizes both rigid legalism and casual neglect, urges clear guidance for conscience, and contends that a regular day of rest has moral, social, and health benefits warranting communal recognition.
