Sabbath, Circumcision & Tithing


	This website is free because I allow Tripod to put banner ads on it. I have no control over which ads appear - I do not endorse any product or service advertised above. I especially do not endorse the books that are often advertised above.

This website is about my book: Sabbath, Circumcision, and Tithing. You can order the book through online booksellers, or you can order it at a discount from me. I'll tell you about it.

The book is unique in that it puts the Sabbath question into the larger framework of other Old Testament laws. It does not just examine one law, but many, to see general principles by which Christians may look at Old Testament laws to see why some are obsolete.

The Sabbath is not the only Old Testament law, and it needs to be studied in the context of other OT laws. Some OT laws are generally considered obsolete, and others are generally considered valid today -- but why? Why should Christians keep one law, but not another? When we understand the answer to that basic question, we will see how the Sabbath fits in today.

You can see how thorough the study is by examining the table of contents below.

The new edition has the same main text, but a different appendix, a glue binding, slightly smaller margins, and a few less pages.

I am out of stock. I will be posting the text of the book on the WCG website: www.wcg.org/lit/law/SCT/
