Description
Sunday, not Sabbath, is, and has been, the traditional day of worship for the vast majority of Christendom. Because of this fact, numerous Christians—including many pastors—have just accepted this practice without careful study. This has played into the hands of sabbatarians. They have well-though-out arguments that are very compelling for those who are not thoroughly grounded in good biblical hermeneutics. The Sabbath and the Lord’s day, by HM Riggle shows convincingly that Seventh-day Adventist arguments for Seventh-day Sabbath keeping are not biblical. Of interest to our readers is the way Riggle clearly shows the difference between the Sinai Covenant and the New Covenant. You will not be disappointed with the biblical scholarship of this book. See also Sabbath in Christ.
