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.

And what did Paul mean in Colossians 2:16–17?

Furthermore, the book shows Spurgeon’s adherence to the Second London Confession of Faith’s articles on the law of God and the Christian Sabbath. He held to the tripartite division of the law and taught all men to obey the moral law which includes the 4th commandment. Rather than seeing the Sabbath as a legalistic burden, he encouraged Christians to observe it with joy while looking with eyes of faith to the eternal Sabbath to come.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-cel-widget=\"hushpuppyUpsell_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"v4fmq9-s044k6-b1kbv-26x6il\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-asin=\"\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"hushpuppyUpsell_feature_div\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"hushpuppyUpsell\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-feature-name=\"hushpuppyUpsell\" class=\"celwidget\" id=\"hushpuppyUpsell_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-cel-widget=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"jjhta8-vf3j36-1jdwth-topy9v\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-asin=\"\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"richProductInformation\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-feature-name=\"richProductInformation\" class=\"celwidget\" id=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-cel-widget=\"rich_product_information\" data-csa-c-id=\"pj3qli-9f6pm5-p1s95d-o9uaw6\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none celwidget\" id=\"rich_product_information\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e326 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Founders Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41757718118479,"sku":"9781943539444","price":46.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/files\/9781943539444-spurgeon_s-forgotten-sabbatarianism-examining-the-role-of-the-4th-commandment-in-his-life-and-theology-brandon-rhea.jpg?v=1716176846"}],"url":"https:\/\/reformers.com.au\/collections\/keep-holy-the-sabbath-rest.oembed","provider":"Reformers Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
