Is There a Christian Sabbath in the Modern View
An Episcopalian in Ohio reviews a Brown and Derby book challenging the idea of a universal Sabbath. It surveys historic Christian opinions, cites Luther, Calvin, Bucer, and Protestant reformers, and argues that the Bible does not command a weekly Christian Sabbath. The piece contends Sunday is a church day, not a divine universal sabbath, and advocates liberty in observing it.
