Sunday Sabbath And The Weekend

Spirituality that takes shape around regular Sunday and Sabbath worship is central to the historical identity of Christianity. Through the lens of this book, we see also that such a spirituality is central to nurturing a healthy, thriving society. Here fourteen contributors from diverse traditions across the spectrum of American Christianity examine how Christians and others can find needful rest through Sunday and Sabbath in managing the pressures of our 24/7 global culture.

Why do Protestants keep Sunday? From the Catholic Mirror, the official organ of Cardinal Gibbons, Baltimore, Maryland.

The "Saturday or Sunday" question has been one of Christendom's most contested issues, sparking great controversy and terrible violence through the centuries. Theologians and ministers of every background have offered their opinion regarding the Christian Sabbath, with the assumption that traditional, orthodox Christianity is the place to begin the discussion. This book clearly explains which day should be observed-straight from the pages of the Bible!-breaking through every false assumption: the premise that the weekly cycle has been lost; that the Sabbath command is only part of the law of Moses; that the Catholic Church has authority to "change times"; that Sunday is the "Lord's Day"; and that keeping the Sabbath is a burden. After proving the Sabbath's validity, there still remains a host of related questions pertaining to how to correctly observe the seventh day. Since it is God who established the Sabbath, we must look in His Word for guidelines revealing how to keep it in a way pleasing to Him. Also, you will learn the simple-to-understand-and easily verifiable-explanation of the "mark of the beast," and how it relates to the day you choose to worship the Creator God. "Saturday or Sunday - Which is the Sabbath?" is the strongest book ever written proving which day is the true Sabbath, why and how we must keep it today, and how it is directly connected to the very purpose of your existence!
