In an increasingly secular world, the personal and social benefits of Sabbath-keeping are being lost to us more and more. But the church, and not just the world, is finding it increasingly difficult to defend the traditional view that the fourth commandment is still binding on us, and that God want us to honour the first day of the week, the Lord's Day, as a Christian Sabbath. This book examines some of the issues raised in this debate, and argues that, for the Christian believer, the Sabbath principle is one which is still binding, relevant, necessary and beneficial.

'Dr Campbell's book is a joy to read. It is well written and easy to understand ... I pray that God will use this book to restore Christians to a lost heritage of Sabbath observance and obedience to biblical standards'
-- Professor Joel Beeke.
