In every age of history, and in every corner of the world, whenever the gospel of Jesus Christ has flourished it has brought forth the fruit of ardent love to the Sabbath in proportion as it has brought forth ardent love to the Lord of the Sabbath. The first Sabbath of the Christian Church was on that joyful day when the Redeemer rose from the dead, and spoke peace to His sorrowful disciples. This first 'Lord's Day' ushered in the New Testament era, and the Church could then sing with greater understanding that it ever had before, 'This is the day God made, in it we'll joy triumphantly' (Psalm 118:24, Metrical Version).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt a time when Sabbath keeping is largely forgotten and even despised, it is hoped that this book will be used to kindle a love to the Saviour and to His Day so that young and old would once more 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy' (Exodus 20:8).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e63 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Presbyterian Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40772718788687,"sku":"FPBdaygodmade","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/files\/fpbdaygodmade-day-god-made-the-anecdotes-on-sabbath-keeping-various.jpg?v=1693462218"},{"product_id":"9781943539482-there-remains-a-sabbath-rest-for-the-people-of-god-a-biblical-theological-historical-defense-of-sabbath-rest-as-a-creation-ordinance-jon-english-lee","title":"There Remains a Sabbath Rest for the People of God: A Biblical, Theological, \u0026 Historical Defense of Sabbath Rest as a Creation Ordinance","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book contains a defense of the idea that God’s rest on Day 7 of the creation week is instructive for people today. More technically, this book argues for the propriety of weekly Sabbath rest. This means that the normal pattern to be followed by humanity is a week, consisting of seven 24-hour days, six of which are spent in work while the other day is devoted to rest. Theologians would use the language of God’s rest being a “creation ordinance,” which is a term that many theologians use, but none have defined.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo aid the discussion, this book defines a creation ordinance as a normative, but not uniformly observed, general pattern the exceptions to which must fulfill and contribute to the pattern’s fulfillment; moreover, the pattern must be confirmed, not negated or abrogated, by later biblical revelation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter discussing methodological and hermeneutical presuppositions, the heart of the book begins in chapter 3 with biblical-theological analysis of Genesis 2, noting that God’s rest is the consummation of God’s creative work, God’s enthronement in his cosmic temple, and his consecration of the creation unto him. God’s rest ought to be imitated by mankind for several reasons: God’s intention behind the pattern, Mosaic authorship of Genesis, and the fourth commandment in the decalogue explicitly cites God’s rest in Genesis 2. Later, a detailed analysis is provided of the sabbath commandment in the old covenant. The sabbath ordinance takes on supplemental ceremonial importance under the Mosaic law.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen, the book moves into the New Testament analysis, where Jesus is shown to be the giver of rest. Being the fulfillment to which all the Old Testament types were pointing, Jesus brings salvific rest through his perfect atonement. However, the fullness of Christ’s redemptive work will not be tasted until the eschaton, so the weekly sabbath pattern retains its typological value for new covenant believers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book concludes with a survey of significant historical events\/theologians who contributed to the sabbath debate, followed by ecclesiological and personal implications of sabbath rest being seen as a creation ordinance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e314 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIn this thorough defense of Sabbatarianism, Jon English Lee captures insights from the entire theological encyclopedia—from exegetical and biblical theology to systematic and historical theology.
