Calvin and the Sabbath: The Controversy of Applying the Fourth Commandment

Calvin’s views on the Sabbath are the subject of claim and counterclaim. This book brings together two controversial themes: Calvin’s ideas on Church/state relationships, and on the sabbath. Richard Gaffin traces the development of the beliefs of Calvin through his comments and writings, and also helps us to understand the relationship between the ten commandments and the New Testament. Calvin’s conclusions have a much wider implication than just what you do on Sunday! You might also be surprised by Griffin’s analysis!
