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!

Author: Richard B. Gaffin is Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Emeritus at Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Endorsements: This is a most interesting study, and, incidentally, a reminder that no mere man is our ultimate authority for belief or practice. "Gaffin comes up with some surprising and remarkably spiritual conclusions."
