THE SABBATH UNDER CROSSFIRE- A BIBLICAL ANALYSIS OF RECENT SABBATH/ SUNDAY DEVELOPMENTS

by Samuele Bacchiocchi

Few Biblical doctrines have been under a constant crossfire of controversy during Christian history as has the Sabbath. In The Sabbath Under Crossfire, Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi examines the recent attacks against the Sabbath within the larger historical context of the origin and development of the anti-Sabbath theology. An understanding of how the abrogation view of the Sabbath began and developed through the centuries, is essential for comprehending why the Sabbath is still under crossfire today. The book analyzes in a systematic way the most common arguments used to negate the continuity and validity of the Sabbath for today. With compelling Biblical reasoning, it unmasks the fallacies of the attempts made to reduce the Sabbath to a Mosaic institution, fulfilled by Christ and condemned by Paul. The final chapter, "Rediscovering the Sabbath," offers an informative update on the rediscovery of the Sabbath by numerous religious groups, scholars, and church leaders. Most important of all, this book will enrich your understanding of how the Sabbath can enable you to experience the Savior's presence, peace, and rest in your life.

A very good book about how the Sabbath is under attack in our world today. It gives resources on how this was, is, and soon to be done. It is a very easy and laid back read. You can hear his accent in the writing style. Can't wait to read his other books.
