ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK
God, the Christian and the Sabbath
By Iain D. Campbell. Day One. 224 pages. £8.00
ISBN 1 903087 95 3
If you want a contemporary restatement of the Lord’s Day Observance Society’s position on the Christian Sabbath, a Day One publication by a Free Church of Scotland minister is unlikely to disappoint. A solid, workmanlike survey of biblical material, backed up with a selection of Puritan teaching offers a fine foundation for contemporary application.
If your conviction is that while ceremonial and judicial/civil aspects of the Old Testament Law have been abolished through the work of Christ, but that the moral law (and especially the Ten Commandments) still applies, you will appreciate the particular continuity/discontinuity balance represented here.
