Exercitations Concerning a Day of Sacred Rest (Sabbath)

A major scholarly treatise on the Christian Sabbath, in six exercitations anchored in Hebrews 4:9. Owen investigates the name and ancient origins of the sacred rest from creation, defends the morality of the Fourth Commandment, and examines whether the seventh-day Sabbath carries perpetual obligation. He traces the Sabbath through patriarchal, Mosaic, and Gospel dispensations, argues for the divine institution of the Lord's Day as the Christian Sabbath, and closes with practical directions for its devout observance.
