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

Overview

In an increasingly secular world, the personal and social benefits of Sabbath-keeping are continually eroding. The church—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 honor 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 the Sabbath principle is one which is still binding, relevant, necessary, and beneficial.

Praise for the Print Edition

Dr. Campbell's book is a joy to read. It is well-written and easy to understand.
