The author delves deeply into the theology of the Sabbath going much further than most other books on the Sabbath I've read. Rather than getting stuck on proof-texts to prove the day of the week the Sabbath should be celebrated, he seeks to discover the meaning of the Sabbath exegetically both in the old and new testaments. Moving from that solidly presented base he proceeds to the history of the change from Saturday to Sunday and on to the future of Revelation's Sabbath in prophecy. Every corner he turns leaves you relieved that he not only stays true to the text but continually brings a refreshing perspective to a very "burnt over" topic in my faith tradition which accepts the 7th day Sabbath.



I found the book not only academically rich in exegesis, historical context, and philosophical insight, but also refreshing for it's unique approach and perspective.
