On the First Day of the Week is a courageous book on a difficult subject. Dr. Ian D. Campbell makes a good case for using the entire Bible to understand the doctrine of the Sabbath. His conclusions are based on solid exegesis, and convey a wealth of pastoral experience and godly practice. The book commences with God as the author of the Sabbath, then uses a progressive redemptive approach (Moses, the prophets, Jesus, and the apostles), followed by a historical overview that focuses on the Puritans. Dr. Campbell then explains how we should apply the Sabbath principle today and how that principle will culminate perfectly in heaven. This book is well written, easy to understand, and a joy to read. May God use it to restore Christians to a lost heritage of Sabbath observance and obedience to biblical standards.

Author  Iain D. Campbell is pastor of the Free Church of Scotland in Back on the Isle of Lewis
